“As part of an annual SAPR training, there was a really good guest speaker and he was very passionate about assault prevention and bystander intervention,” said Morely. “The way he spoke inspired me to do something.” 
 
Morely highlighted the need for empathy, discretion, and a willingness to help those in need, at any hour.  
 
“We are there whenever they need assistance," said Morely. “We are there to help victims for whatever they're going through.”  
 
Morley’s dedication to his role as victim advocate extended beyond mere commitment; he devoted countless hours to providing assistance to individuals ensuring he was available for any support required.
