Our Mission
The primary goal of NevadaCARES is to eliminate barriers and create a campus culture that destigmatizes the seeking out and accessing of services for those who have experienced sexual assault, relationship violence, and stalking. We have been addressing sexual assault, relationship violence, and stalking on UNR’s campus since 2015, with a primary focus on prevention efforts. Prevention initiatives include outreach, training, and education. In 2022, the project was expanded to allow for the delivery of direct services through The Advocacy Center to students, faculty, and staff. Individual services assist those on campus through the process of making decisions, accessing support, examining feelings, and exploring the impact and meaning of their experiences. Connection to resources is a vital component of healing from a traumatic experience. The Advocacy Center is a link between the individual, campus-based resources, and programs in the community at large.
