Survivor Support Services

Survivors of sexual, intimate partner, or domestic violence and abuse experience all kinds of emotions — betrayal, fear, shame, self-blame, anger, shock and confusion. Thousands of organizations around the world are working to build safe places for them to be able to break through their walls of silence so they can share their stories, work through their experiences and start to heal.
Through our extensive experience in the industry, working with advocates and acting as advocates ourselves, we’ve learned organizations need access to a host of reliable and helpful tools to best serve their clients. Many of those effected by sexual violence are uncomfortable making first contact over the phone, so offering multi-channel access is key to supporting them. Offering live chat, texting, or online intake or service requests is critical to supporting survivors of abuse and violence. Victims confide in those they reach out to and provide sensitive personal information, and services must meet their obligation to protect privacy and honor confidentiality agreements using highly secure online systems. Additionally, organizations need to report on client outcomes and be able to show impact and prove their value and meet VOCA or VAWA reporting requirements. Taking into account all these needs, and more, you need and deserve a lot of functionality from your victim services software.
With iCarol software you will have the tools to walk with survivors on their path of healing.
