Sexual Assault Center of Northeast Georgia

The Sexual Assault Center is having another training for hotline and advocate volunteers! If you are interested in helping us answer our 24-hour hotline, or interested in helping adults, children and their families through the trauma this is a mandatory 12 hour training.

There are three sessions:
Session I: Crisis Counseling
Session II: Answering the Hotline
Session III: Being and Advocate

You need to attend all sessions if you want to answer the hotline and be an advocate. Our hotline operators answer the hotline during non-business hours and our advocates help with forensic interviews and exams during business hours only. You may skip the third session if you are not interested in being an advocate.

There are two sets of this training. Morning and evening trainings are available and the schedule is as follows:

Feel free to mix and match sessions, but make sure to let us know which sessions you plan on being in when you turn in your application. The trainings will be held in the Family Protection Center in the conference room, which is located in the white building across the parking lot from the police station on Lexington Rd.
