National Victim Advocacy Workforce Study

National Victim Advocacy Workforce Study

Victim advocates hold up survivors and communities every day, yet no comprehensive nationwide study has documented this workforce until now.

The National Victim Advocacy Workforce Study, conducted by Rutgers University School of Social Work in partnership with the National Organization for Victim Advocacy (NOVA), gathers insights directly from professionals working in victim services across the country. Victim advocates are invited to share their experiences, perspectives, and hopes for the future.

Who should participate?

This survey is intended for professionals working in victim advocacy and victim services, including those in:
– Community-based organizations
– Government agencies
– Campuses
– Allied organizations that support victims and survivors

If your work supports victims or survivors in any way, your perspective matters.
