Connect with an Advocate

Emergency Response

Emergency response is available 24 hours/day, 7 days/week for urgent matters such as a sexual assault that has occurred in the past 5 days or assistance with emergency shelter due to intimate partner violence.

To get connected with a confidential advocate during business or non-business hours, please call (530) 752-3299.

Making an Appointment

A victim advocate is able to meet with you by appointment during business hours. Same day appointments may be available. Additionally, CARE can arrange for interpretation services during phone calls and meetings with the advocate; please let us know if this service would be helpful in order to better connect with us.

Individuals who would like to speak to a confidential advocate can make an appointment by phone, email, or by visiting the CARE office.

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 first 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.
  • Walk through and thoroughly explain your rights and options for reporting, not reporting, and options outside of the university. 
  • Get connected to other resources within the university or outside of the university if it applies.
