Survivor Advocacy Services

Confidential Support

Our mission is to provide free confidential support and advocacy services to our Fresno State students, staff, and faculty who have experienced sexual violence/misconduct, dating/domestic violence, stalking, and other forms of interpersonal violence. Our services are confidential, meaning that we are not required to report disclosures to law enforcement or other campus entities. As advocates, we strive to provide our Fresno State community with a culture of safety, solidarity, and support for all who are affected by empowering survivors through advocacy, prevention, and education.
