Communities We CARE for

CARE SERVES ALL SURVIVORS, including undergraduate students, graduate students, staff, faculty, alumni, and community members. We believe you and we are here for you throughout your healing process. CARE recognizes that there is not a single path or one-size-fits-all approach toward healing. Interpersonal violence often intersects with other forms of oppression, creating different circumstances for survivors in various communities, such as BIPOC survivors, LGBTQIA+ survivors, survivors with disabilities and survivors who are men, and more.

Interpersonal violence is a form of violence caused by using one's power and control over another individual(s). Systems of privilege - like race, class, ability, and gender - can be tools that keep this power imbalance in place. CARE acknowledges that each individual may hold many different intersecting identities, some of which our “Communities we CARE for” pages address. For this reason we encourage all to read through the survivor identity pages that may relate to your own experiences.
