The Gazette Podcast Episode 3: Get to Know Victim Advocates Dominique Magnan and Dr. Courtney Chase

Welcome back to The Gazette Podcast. In recognition of National Crime Victims' Rights Week and Sexual Assault Awareness Month, episode three features the Deputy Director of RCDA's Victim Services Unit, Dr. Courtney Chase, and Victim Advocate/Training Leader Dominique Magnan who unpack what it means to be a victim advocate, some of the strategies they use to assist survivors of crimes and their families as they navigate the criminal justice system, and how community members can best support the critical work that they do. Our Director of Neighborhood Initiatives, Lisa Thompson, joins us from the Courtroom Corner while DA McMahon offers insight into the events RCDA organized this year to honor National Crime Victims' Rights Week. We were fortunate to also speak to Mrs. Mary Ann Edkins and Mr. Charles Edkins Sr. to learn why they have returned to participate in RCDA's Annual Candlelight Victims' Vigil year after year. We hope you enjoy the show!
