As you may know, I’ve had a career in victim services. Throughout my experience, I’ve seen some truly hard days, some frustrating days, and some great days. If you (or anyone you know) are interested in working in sexual assault services, or maybe you’re just curious about what working in this field entails, this episode is for you.
I’ve worked as a sexual assault victim advocate, held a position at the district attorney’s office in the greater Atlanta area, and worked with a nonprofit. In this episode, I dive into the issues surrounding each one of my jobs and why I ultimately decided to quit. I also share which of these job experiences was my favorite, my least favorite, and why.
This episode will give you an in-depth look into working in sexual assault services. I share what you can expect, my wildest experience during my time in the field, and the life implications that come with the territory.
