WINGS Medical Advocates work on-site to provide bedside crisis intervention services to patients that have been identified as experiencing domestic abuse. Advocates are available to provide support to victims onsite and to help them understand how to begin formulating a safety plan. They can also help connect victims to resources such as counseling services, legal advocacy, and emergency shelter.

WINGS also offers professional education and training opportunities to medical personnel to help them identify the signs of abuse and to educate them about resources available to victims of domestic violence.
