Violence Prevention & Advocacy (VPA)
Confidential Advocacy: A Safe Place to Start
The VPA offers advocacy services to all UW Bothell and Cascadia College students impacted by relationship violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, sexual harassment, and related experiences. This resource is free and available to currently enrolled students.
Advocacy is a safe and confidential starting point for students who have been impacted directly or are supporting a friend or loved one. Advocates are trained professionals who understand the dynamics of abuse and harassment, share options for support, and stand by students while they navigate their healing.
Students may make an appointment with a Confidential Advocate by scheduling online, emailing uwbvpa@uw.edu or calling 425-352-3851.
