Violence Prevention

Violence is a serious public health problem that affects people across the lifespan and often leaves lasting physical and psychological impacts. The good news is that violence is preventable! Wellness and Health Promotion Services is leading our campus toward a violence-free future by providing information, education, resources, and referrals related to sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence and stalking. Our goal is to help survivors, friends, loved ones, and allies find the information and resources they need to help us end violence before it happens.
