Path to Care Center
The PATH to Care Center provides affirming, empowering, and confidential support for survivors and those who have experienced gendered violence, including: sexual harassment, dating and intimate partner violence, sexual assault, stalking, and sexual exploitation. Confidential advocates bring a non-judgmental, caring approach to exploring all options, rights, and resources.
It is always the victim’s/survivor’s decision to pursue any of the available resources or to report an incident to the police or the university. PATH is here to support your decisions.
