Good afternoon,
Please feel free to share:

Violence Prevention and Response at Emerson College is excited to announce 
our search for a Survivor Advocate.

Violence Prevention and Response works with students, employees, and 
community partners to lead comprehensive and innovative prevention 
strategies, coordinated community approaches, and trauma-informed advocacy to 
shape an Emerson community free of sexual assault, stalking, and abusive 
relationships.

The Survivor Advocate will:

  *   Provide confidential and comprehensive trauma-informed services and 
resources to survivors of sexual assault, stalking, and abusive relationships.
  *   Offer direct crisis intervention, advocacy and support services, 
including rights and options, in accordance with Massachusetts law (civil and 
criminal) and campus policies.
  *   Serve as a general resource, advocate and referral agent for students, 
staff, and faculty seeking sexual assault, stalking, and abusive relationship 
information and services.
  *   Coordinate campus and community resources to support students, staff, 
and faculty who have experienced sexual assault, stalking, and abusive 
relationships.
  *   Collaborate with other campus department and community organization 
colleagues to support the success of VPR activities including prevention, 
education, and outreach efforts.

Located in the heart of Boston, Emerson offers its students a unique 
experience in their fields, preparing them for dynamic careers in 
communication and the arts. We offer our employees a competitive benefits 
package and the chance to be a part of Emerson's distinctive community, as 
well as providing significant opportunities for educational, professional, 
personal, and cultural growth.
