Advocacy & Support

You Have Options. You Have a Voice.

Sometimes college brings situations that are difficult to navigate on your own. You might be experiencing an unhealthy relationship, facing a personal challenge, trying to understand a university process, or simply unsure what to do next. Advocacy is about helping you understand your options, identify resources, and make informed decisions about what comes next.

How Can an Advocate Help?

An advocate can:

  • Listen to your concerns without judgment.

  • Help you explore available options and resources.

  • Explain university processes and where to find information about your rights and responsibilities.

  • Help you prepare questions and communicate your concerns.

  • Connect you with appropriate campus or community support.

  • Support your ability to make decisions and advocate for yourself.

Do I Have to Make a Report?

Reaching out to discuss your options does not necessarily mean you are initiating a formal report or complaint. You can ask questions, discuss concerns, and learn about available resources before deciding what steps you want to take.

The information you share, the nature of your concern, and applicable confidentiality and reporting requirements may affect what happens next. We can explain those considerations when you contact us.

Not Sure Where to Start?

You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out. We're here to help you explore your options and identify a path forward.
