CARE Advocate Services
Services are available to all UCSF affiliates, and the incident does not have to be recent, nor does it have to have occurred on campus. The CARE Advocate can explain your options for filing a report as well as your options if you choose not to report. The CARE Advocate can assess your needs, provide emotional support, connect you to resources, provide accompaniment, help you to understand your rights, and facilitate academic and employment adjustments as well as other accommodations.
Need urgent crisis support? Call our 24/7 Care hotline at 415-502-8802
The CARE hotline is a 24/7, confidential, free, campus resource offering urgent crisis support for any UCSF affiliates, including learners, staff, and faculty who have experienced interpersonal violence, sexual assault, dating/intimate partner violence, sexual harassment, or stalking.
Confidentiality
All information shared with the advocate, whether it is information about you or even the fact that you have seen an advocate, cannot be shared with others outside CARE without your consent and written permission. CARE Staff are California-certified confidential advocates, as defined under California Evidence Code §1035.2 and §1037.1. In some circumstances, the advocate may consult with a supervisor to provide you with the best help available. However, no one outside CARE may have access to your information without your prior written consent or as required by law. However, California law mandates that information may be appropriately shared if you present an imminent risk of serious physical harm to yourself or others.
