Bay Area Turning Point provides 24 hour/7 days a week advocacy for victims of stranger or non-stranger sexual assault to the police departments and/or hospitals.  In the emergency room, an Advocate can explain the medical procedures needed for prosecution of a sexual assault or domestic violence case.  The Advocate will bring fresh clothing, personal care products and will stay with the assault survivor through the emergency room process; if shelter is needed, the Advocate will provide transportation to shelter.

Crisis intervention refers to immediate, short-term help to individuals who experience an event that produces emotional, mental, physical, and behavioral distress or problems.
