Advocacy

Henderson House advocates provide domestic violence, sexual assault, and human sex trafficking response and advocacy, crisis intervention, a 24-hour crisis line, coordinated wrap around service referrals, support groups, bilingual Spanish services, and youth outreach.  

Communication between Henderson House advocates and our clients  is 100% confidential under Oregon law (ORS 40.264 Rule 507-1). At Henderson House we take confidentiality very seriously. Client communications and identities are never disclosed without their consent. 

We do not tell our clients what to do, instead we help our clients explore their options. We take the time to listen and understand our clients’ stories, we inform them about the resources are available to them and it is up to our clients to determine what their best plan of action is and what resources to access.
