Welcome
The Jean Nidetch CARE (Campus Anti-Violence Advocacy, Resources, & Empowerment) Center provides free and confidential support services to members of the UNLV community who have been impacted by sexual assault, relationship abuse, family violence and/or stalking. Programs and services are available to people of all identities and regardless of status. The CARE Center aims to end these forms of power-based personal violence by engaging the campus community in education, programming and transformative action.

The CARE Center is working remote and our office is closed for in-person appointments, but clients can schedule for online appointments or call the hotline for immediate assistance.
Get Support
For UNLV students who've experienced relationship abuse, family violence, sexual violence, and/or stalking, our office provides support to assist them through the process of making decisions, accessing support, working through feelings, and exploring the impact and meaning of their experiences. The decision to receive support services is often made while dealing with challenging circumstances, so our hope is to make getting started easier.
Jean Nidetch Scholarship
The Jean Nidetch Scholarship is offered to UNLV undergraduate and graduate students that have overcome hardship or adversity and achieved academic success. Undocumented and DACA students are encouraged to apply.
