Services Provided
SARC provides support for students impacted by identity-based harm. If a student has experienced dating/domestic violence, sexual violence, harassment, discrimination, or bias, SARC can offer support through advocacy and resource navigation..
SARC also provides support to students who are “secondary survivors,” meaning friends, roommates, partners, or family members of someone who has experienced identity-based harm.
SARC services are free and confidential. SARC staff will not share any information that students share with us unless given express, written permission. The only exceptions to this are if there are safety concerns involving intent to harm self or others or incidents of child abuse. In these rare circumstances SARC will be transparent and honest about any safety concerns and potential obligations to take action.

SARC Advocates cannot share any information about a client without that individual’s written permission.
