You don't have to be an
expert to do something to stop domestic violence. As a part of the Middle Way
House Crisis Line or On-Scene Advocates team, which provide 24-hour crisis
intervention response to victims of domestic and sexual violence, you will gain
advocacy skills and learn about the impact of domestic violence on individuals
and society. Crisis Liners offer resources and a supportive ear, help callers
create safety plans, and conduct intake interviews with new shelter residents.
After volunteering on the crisis line, volunteers can train to be On-Scene
Advocates, who offer support, information, and resources to survivors of
domestic violence and sexual assault, at the hospital or on the phone.
Interested in taking action? Attend a volunteer training, held from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. on Sept. 7 at the Monroe County Public Library
Auditorium or from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. on Sept. 21 in Room 101
of Woodburn Hall on the IU Campus. Preregistration is not required. Minimum age
is 18. Please contact Debra Morrow at volunteer@middlewayhouse.org
or (812) 337-4510. (www.middlewayhouse.org)
