How the Victim Advocate Helps
On-Campus Services
The Victim Advocate may be the first person to respond to the victim. During this critical time victims may experience a wide range of feelings and emotions. As an advocate, we can assist in many ways.
Counseling Services provides limited medical treatment and counseling to students who may have been a victim of sexual misconduct or any other crime. They can be reached via phone at 209.946.2315 x2.
