Dedicated. Experienced. Passionate.

Our dedicated staff works tirelessly for our clients. 

Every victim advocate at Pickens County Advocacy Center must complete training and be certified by the State of South Carolina Victims Service Provider Certification. This ensures that our victim advocates are well-trained on both a state and local level and maintain professional development by providing services to our sexual violence survivors.
