What occurs to a victim's service support following the designation of a covered offense?

When a covered offense is designated, a victim's service support is activated to ensure they receive the necessary resources and assistance. This activation signifies that the victim is now eligible for comprehensive support services provided by the Navy Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program. These services may include medical care, counseling, legal support, and advocacy from a victim advocate.

The aim is to facilitate a supportive environment for the victim, enabling them to navigate the complexities surrounding the aftermath of the covered offense. This proactive approach empowers victims to access tools and resources that can aid in their recovery and healing process.
