The Livewell Confidential Advocates provide a safe and confidential space to help individuals identify what they want or need after an incident of sexual assault, relationship violence, or stalking has occurred. Confidential Advocates do not report to the University. LiveWell Advocate’s confidentiality is protected under state law and LiveWell Advocates meet all the requirements established by Office of Crime Victims Advocacy as well as receive ongoing education/accreditation training. The LiveWell Confidential Advocates can assist individuals in accessing campus and community services and supports for healing and safety.
We provide safe places to help individuals understand their rights and options including what options they have for reporting both on campus and in the larger community, always with the understanding that it is up to the individual to decide if they would like to report or not. Speaking with an advocate does not trigger a report to the University or police. Advocates are confidential and your information will not be shared.
