You support others. We're here to support you.
We are the Wisconsin Advocate Peer Support Network, often described as a team of advocates, for advocates. We stand alongside the professionals who spend their days standing up for everyone else.
Your safety comes first
If you are in immediate danger, call 911. To talk with someone any time, the National Domestic Violence Hotline is available at 1-800-799-7233 (or text START to 88788). Use the Quick Exit button at the top of any page, or press Esc three times, to leave this site quickly.

Connection and understanding from people who do this work too. Advocacy can be heavy, and no one should carry it alone.

Advocates and professionals are not immune from the harm they help others escape. This network exists for victim advocates, court system employees, legal professionals, and current and former law enforcement officers, and for their families, who may be facing domestic violence in their own lives. You deserve the same protection, privacy, and care you offer to everyone else. We also welcome partner organizations who want to raise awareness and share these resources.
