The campus security director interrupts your early morning class to ask for assistance. He heard there were some victim advocates on campus who might be able to help Anatole and Anna out. Last night, as they were leaving the local supermarket, Anatole and Anna were robbed at gunpoint in the poorly lighted parking lot. Anatole tried to protect Anna, and the robbers beat him unconscious with the handle of their gun. Both of them are now in the hospital--Anatole has a concussion and broken arm, and Anna is being treated for shock and trauma. They have no family in America--both of their families are in Egypt. GROUP QUESTIONS: 1. What are Anatole's and Anna's immediate needs? 2. Nobody has contacted anybody--either for notification purposes or to seek victim assistance and supportive services for Anatole and Anna. Whom should you call first? Second? Third? 3. Which local, state, federal, and international agencies might be able to provide you with help to best serve these victims?
