Social Sciences - Surveying / appears on a feedback form to evaluate the services of a rape crisis center
English term or phrase: counselor
I am a student at UMass Amherst translating a feedback form for the Center for Women and Community at my school, more specifically their Rape Crisis Services center. The form is directed at someone who used their services and is evaluating the performance of the person who helped them, their "counselor." The director of the Center says that the counselors who work for them need to have a bachelor's degree and complete a certificate of training. They are closer to a therapist than say, a school guidance counselor, because their job is to inform the person in need of help about their legal options, make them feel safe and cared for, and provide different resources for support. I have not found any terms that would encompass this idea, are there any suggestions?

técnico de aconselhamento


Explanation:
Pelo que li do enunciado da pergunta, o profissional em questão parece abranger várias funções de aconselhamento e, sendo assim, traduzia dessa forma, por ser um termo um pouco mais neutro e que pode incluir o aconselhamento psicológico, bem como o aconselhamento jurídico e/ou judicial neste contexto.

É pois, por não existir suporte humano, nem material, nem psicológico, que a existência do Centro de Crise se justifica.
Existem sentimentos comuns e potenciais problemas que os técnicos necessitam conhecer e estar sensíveis para iniciarem o aconselhamento, como seja a existência de numerosos medos, que se tornam incapacitantes para a vida da vítima.
