Advocate Trauma Recovery Center

Comprehensive services for survivors of violence

The Advocate Trauma Recovery Center is a health care-based violence intervention program that provides quality services and resources to survivors of intentional trauma with compassion, respect and care. Our purpose is to aid individuals who have experienced trauma in rebuilding, restoring and strengthening their sense of safety by ending the cycle of violence. We provide access to trauma-informed care by acknowledging how past and present traumatic experiences and stress may impact the individuals and families we are serving. Our team is specially trained to support the unique needs of survivors and their families to foster hope for a better future.

Services include:

  • Individual and group therapy
  • Support and advocacy groups
  • Outpatient clinical assessments
  • Medication management
  • Safety and self-care guidance
  • Case management

Multidisciplinary approach: After participating emergency departments, clinicians and community organizations refer patients to the Advocate Trauma Recovery Center, they are treated by a team of behavioral health clinicians and trauma recovery specialists trained to support the unique needs of survivors and their families.
