Miles Is the Boss of His Body by Abbie Schiller

This is a long and proud history and they owe so much to the dedication of their volunteers, staff, and local community and also to the inspiration provided by the survivors who honored them with their stories and strength. Today their agency has expanded to provide not only domestic violence services but also services to youth and adult survivors of child sexual abuse, adult sexual assault and rape. While the agency has grown, expanded services and adapted to the ever changing needs of survivors and the community over the years, they remain committed to the core philosophy of providing compassionate, trauma informed, survivor focused services and education with roots in feminism and the grassroots battered women’s movement of the 1970’s. The Advocacy Center is the only provider of Domestic and Sexual Violence services in Tompkins County, NY.
