Violence Prevention & Advocacy
The Violence Prevention & Advocacy (VPA) Program leads the UW Bothell campus in preventing and responding to sexual and relationship violence (SRV). The prevention-focused arm uses strategies such as education and social norms change to create a campus free of violence and harm. Stop by the HaWRC to learn more about how you can get involved in preventing SRV at UWB.
While our goal is to create a community where violence doesn’t happen, we know that it’s going to take some time. Until we reach that goal, the advocacy-focused arm of the VPA Program offers confidential support and healing opportunities for students impacted by SRV.
