What To Expect When You Call

When you reach out, you will talk to a caring person called an advocate.  The advocate will listen carefully to you, and can help you think about your options and what will work best for you. Advocates work with people of all races, ethnicities, ages, gender identities, sexual orientations, disabilities, religions, and backgrounds.
