Advocacy Services

Supporting victims in situations of sexual exploitation, sextortion, and sex trafficking.

Our Commitment

Value Unconditional victim advocates partner with law enforcement and medical professionals to ensure victims receive the compassion, care and resources they need and deserve. We strive to offer peace of mind to the victims we serve and to the partners who trust us with their referrals.

More About Victim Advocacy Services

Partnering with law enforcement and medical professionals to ensure victims get the support they deserve.

How it works:

Value Unconditional volunteer victim advocates take on-call shifts to support victims around the greater KC metro. When partner agencies contact us, advocates are dispatched to local area hospitals, patrol divisions, hotels and more. 

Victim advocates work with collaborative partners to ensure victims have access to the resources they need for a healthier future. Those resources may include detox, SANE examinations, short-and-long-term residential facilities, personal identification documents, or other victim services support.
