1. Who does Women of Honor serve?

 

All women in the military and law enforcement communities.  This is broad, and far reaching. There are five branches comprising our military, 65 federal law enforcement agencies, and 17,000 state and local law enforcement agencies!  Women enlisted in the armed forces, employed within any branch of law enforcement, family, and friends are all invited.  Here are just a few examples:  the wife of a police officer, the daughter of a marine corps colonel, the friend of a veteran, the aunt of a customs agent, the neighbor of an air force captain.   

 

2. How can I benefit from Women of Honor?

 

The resources we have gathered are to support you on your journey, and can be found on the website.  Advocates are ready to respond to your questions and requests on the home page and to assist with resources, a listening ear, compassion, and encouragement.

 

3. Are Advocates licensed counselors?

 

No.  Advocates receive training to uphold our standards of compassion and care, to employ active listening skills and discern need, be knowledgeable about our resources, and to offer those resources with permission from each woman they support.  Advocates pray for women, and will pray with you, if that is something you desire.

 

4. Do I have to be religious to use your services?

 

Absolutely not.  We respect your right to make decisions about your life, this is YOUR journey! 

 

5. I want to be an advocate!  How do I get started?  

 

Thank you for your desire to make a difference by helping women.  Our next volunteer training will be announced soon, keep checking the website.  Attending training is not an obligation, nor a qualification for becoming an advocate.  It is part of a discovery process for you, and for our leadership.  We hope you will find the training to be beneficial, if you move into an advocate role or not.
