The Care Center
About
The Care Center offers confidential virtual support services, holistic healing workshops, campus education and awareness events to members of the UNLV, NSC, and CSN communities impacted by sexual violence, relationship violence, family violence, and/or stalking.
Advocacy & Case Management
The center operates from an anti-oppression framework to provide trauma-informed and healing-centered care, including one-to-one appointments and case management with a Care Advocate. The Care Advocates are available to hold space for our clients, offer emotional support, and help navigate the different options available to them on and off-campus. The Center also provides the Care Survivor Fund, which is an emergency fund available to our clients. Funding up to $1,000 is available for housing, food, off-campus therapy, and holistic healing services such as Reiki.
Healing through Connections Programming
Due to the nature of our work, we recognize the impacts of trauma, people access healing in different ways, and that healing is an ongoing process. The Care Center offers Healing through Connections programming, including in-person and virtual workshops, outdoor retreats, and digital resources such as the Student’s Guide to Radical Healing zine. Regardless of where people are in their healing journey, the zine is a tool that people can access anywhere and in their own time. People can also find information about trauma, self-care, and healing via our social media accounts. We create and curate content that informs and validates the wide range of experiences of victim-survivors.
Campus Education & Outreach
The Care Center strives to end various forms of power-based personal violence, and we do so by hosting campus-wide awareness engagements. We intend to create spaces where people can learn about the impacts of trauma related to interpersonal violence and partake in discussions that promote the needs and experiences of victim-survivors.
