Our Mission
CARE champions a vision of a campus free from sexual and gender based violence and rooted in equity, dignity, and collective well being. Guided by an anti oppression framework, CARE is dedicated to building and sustaining a community where all people can thrive in safety and respect. Our work encompasses three interconnected service areas—Education, Advocacy, and Healing—which together address primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of prevention and support. By cultivating compassion, expanding knowledge, and strengthening individual and collective resilience, CARE advances meaningful culture change and promotes a safer, healthier, and more just UCLA community.
We Provide:
• Community Education for Students, Staff, and Faculty
Provide campus wide, equity informed education that builds awareness, prevention skills, and shared responsibility for ending sexual and gender based violence.
• Confidential, Trauma Informed Advocacy and Support
Deliver confidential, survivor centered advocacy that offers guidance, safety planning, and connection to resources through a trauma informed, culturally responsive approach.
• Healing Focused Programs, Resources, and Collaboration
Offer healing centered programs and strengthen partnerships across campus to expand resources, promote resilience, and support a violence free community.
If you are fearful for your safety, please call your local police by dialing ‘911’ or the UC Police Department at 310-825-1491 (24/7).
If you need to speak to a sexual assault counselor urgently, please contact the Santa Monica Rape Treatment Center (RTC) at 424-259-7208. If you need to speak to a counselor, please contact CAPS at 310-825-0768 (24/7).
If you or someone you know has recently experienced sexual violence, a survivor has the option to obtain a free forensic exam (for the purpose of evidence collection) up to five (5) days after an assault at the Santa Monica RTC 24 hours/7 days a week. For more information or to schedule transportation, please call the RTC at 424-259-7208 (24/7). The RTC also offers free trauma therapy regardless of the obtainment of a forensic exam.
Secure the Sip Community, culture, and connection—one sip at a time.
