Crisis Responder Volunteer

Crisis Response is a 24/7 volunteer program associated with Eau Claire County’s
District Attorney’s office. Our volunteers are placed on a monthly on-call schedule.
When on call, they may be called out by law enforcement to respond and assist a
victim or witness of a crime. Volunteers will assess the individual’s immediate safety
needs, and apply debriefing and defusing techniques to stabilize them. Volunteers
will then provide information about community resources and assist the victim in
accessing those resources. It is the volunteer’s job to spend as much time as
necessary with the victim/witness to make sure they are informed and safe before
leaving the scene.
