Well, I don't know of any particular degree program in this area, but there
are several agencies that provide small-scale training programs.  Here
in Alb. and at UNM in particular, we have some programs on advocacy at
our Rape Crisis center, and a couple of workshops at our health center.
But none of them are degree programs, and are only volunteer training.
There may be similar programs up there in Buffalo.  If I do come across 
anything, I will post it though.  ANd I'd appreciate the same, (I work
in our Staff Development office at the Center on Alcoholism, Sub. Abuse a
and Addictions.)  Thanks and good luck.
