"Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you." - Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

The Center for Advocacy, Resources & Education (CARE) is a confidential and independent resource, which provides crisis counseling, advocacy, and accompaniment to survivors of sexual assault and harassment, intimate partner violence, and stalking. CARE does not accept or process reports or formal complaints of any form of sexual violence or harassment, nor does CARE make notice to UC Davis or any law enforcement agency. If a survivor wishes to make a report or put the University on notice (formally make the institution aware of an issue), CARE can provide information on how to do so.
