Our prevention team facilitates trainings open to all students, as well as available by request for students, faculty, and staff.

Advocacy

Peer Advocates

Peer Advocates are available for drop-ins, online chat, or by appointment to those who have been impacted by violence, as well as those supporting them.

Staff Advocates

Our two full-time staff members can provide more in-depth, ongoing advocacy. You are welcome to meet with a peer advocate first, then ask to be scheduled with a professional staff person, or you can schedule with a professional staff person directly.
