The Center for Advocacy, Resources & Education (CARE) is a confidential and independent resource, and as such, 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.

What to Expect When Meeting with an Advocate

When you reach out to schedule an appointment with a CARE advocate for the first time here are a few things you can expect:

  • Speak with our intake and office coordinator via email, phone, or in person.
    • Fill out Intake form, Tele-Advocacy form, and Consent for Services form via docusign or in person
  • Schedule a time to meet with your advocate either by phone call, zoom, or in person. 

At your appointment with an advocate you can expect to:

  • Review your forms with your advocate and ensure you understand them fully and that they are not missing information.
  • Speak with an advocate about what is going on and how an advocate could best support you.
