The confidentiality of certain information shared between certified advocates and victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking is protected under Oregon state law. 

If you have had a negative experience with a shelter or advocacy program, we recommend speaking directly with that organization’s executive director or other management personnel. 

If that fails to resolve the dispute, or you feel that the organization has treated you unfairly, you have the option of submitting a formal complaint to the Oregon Department of Human Services.
