Review for Sexual Assault Crisis And Support, Winthrop, ME, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been working with various staff from Rape Crisis (more years than the average age of the volunteers)since the 70s. I would be absolutely lost with out them. They are invaluable in their role. Many times they just know what to say or do, when the survivor is about to fall apart. If I'm at a lost for a question asked of me by the survivor, the volunteer is ready and able to step in and help me out, or at least can find the answer for the survivor in a time;y fashion. When I'm in the middle of a case, and am working at collecting "evidence", I cannot leave the room, thus my volunteer is my link to the "outside" world. If the patient needs a drink, or a warm blanket, the volunteer is ready and willing to do anything to help the patient/survivor feel more comfortable and once again feel in charge of their life.
