Community Resources

The UC Davis Center for Advocacy, Resources & Education (CARE), is a program dedicated to reducing the incidence and impact of sexual harassment and sexual violence. CARE provides confidential advocacy, support, and healing services to survivors of sexual harassment and all forms of sexual violence, including sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and stalking. They also facilitate prevention programming and professional training, and serve as subject matter experts with regard to victim dynamics, impact of trauma, bystander intervention, and social norm change.  CARE and the UC Davis Police Department can respond to calls for service involving sexual assault, sexual harassment, sexual and dating violence.  We are very proud to have CARE as a close team member and valuable resource on campus.

Aggie Mental Health is a university-wide initiative that unites students, faculty and staff to elevate mental health awareness and prioritize the lived experiences of our student body. The Aggie Mental Health website serves as a centralized hub, providing easy access to all student mental health resources.

The UC Davis Police Department offers a 4-hour introductory course and two-day (24-hour) intensive self-defense course based on the Model Mugging format. This training is hands-on, full contact (on the instructor) and geared specifically towards all aspects of self-defense against domestic and sexual assault by both known and unknown assailants.

Campus Recreations and Unions also offers quarterly self-defense classes at the Activities and Recreation Center (ARC). Self defense is a complex skill with many aspects. In a practical defense situation, situational awareness and conflict resolution will almost always take precedence over physical conflict. This course, however, isn't about resolving conflict. It's about self-defense, for more information and for registration see the Campus Recreation and Unions website.
