Advocate Core

This online tutorial includes only a portion of the overall 30 hour core curriculum required for advocates in Washington State. This training is not only a tool for individuals to improve their skills, but can also be utilized by WA State Agencies providing approved Advocate Core Trainings. Whether you would like to do one lesson or all the lessons, this training is here to support you and your learning. In any case, this course is a great refresher and supporter of an ever more important ongoing conversation with others about sexual assault advocacy. This is a training on sexual violence, so please take care of yourself as you move through the course. Take a break when you need it.
