About
The Center for Advocacy, Response and Education (CARE) provides confidential, free, and voluntary services and advocacy for K-State students and employee survivors of sexual violence, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, and sexual harassment. Advocacy is a service in which confidential, trained, trauma-informed professionals provide information on options and resources, help with decision making processes, and explain and support survivors through complex systems.
Our Survivor Advocates are full-time professional staff members dedicated to working with members of our campus community who have experienced trauma by providing free and CONFIDENTIAL crisis intervention, emotional support, assistance in navigating complicated processes, as well as facilitating connections to mental health resources, academic support, and more. You're not alone.
Our office was founded 1973 as the Women's Center and changed the scope of work and our name to CARE in 2014.
If you need support after-hours, the Manhattan Crisis Center can be contacted on their 24/7 hotline at 800-727-2785 or text HEAL to 847411.
