How to schedule an appointment

  • The CARE Program offers remote appointments via phone or Zoom, and in-person appointments in our confidential office, or another location on UCSF’s campus.
  • To schedule an appointment with a CARE advocate, email or call:
    • Kendra Hypolite, CARE Advocate for Racial Justice, provides confidential support, assistance, and advocacy on behalf of UCSF community members who are experiencing discrimination or harassment based on their race, ethnicity and/or national origin, and other protected categories. Kendra can be reached at [email protected] or at (415) 269-5935.
    • Denise Caramagno, Confidential CARE Advocate, provides confidential support, assistance and advocacy on behalf of the UCSF community members who have experienced interpersonal violence including but not limited to, sexual assault, dating/intimate partner violence, sexual harassment, or stalking. Denise can be reached at [email protected] or (415) 640-9080.
  • The CARE Program’s hours are 9:00am – 5:00pm. If the call is outside of business hours please leave a voicemail with your contact information. An advocate will reach out to schedule an appointment during the next business day.
  • Appointments are typically available within five business days, or at the earliest convenience of the person seeking support. The first appointment is typically scheduled for 45 minutes with the option to set additional appointments with the advocate as needed. Please let our staff know when calling if you will need any accommodations. We encourage people to contact us in whatever way feels most accessible.
