Experiencing power-based violence can have strong and lasting effects, not just on the mind, but on the body and spirit as well.

We collaborate with on-campus and off-campus organizations, wellness practitioners, and advocates to bring a variety of healing-centered workshops, events, and digital resources to our community. Whether it’s mindfulness practices, art-based healing, movement workshops, or grounding tools anyone can access anytime, there’s something here for everyone. Events are open to students, staff, faculty, and the general public.

HTC takes place once every semester.

Join us in advocating for increased visibility of the impacts of power-based violence and access to trauma-informed and healing-centered services. Through creative programming and intentional community partnerships, we aim to create spaces where victim-survivors feel seen, supported, and valued.

Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) is observed every October to raise awareness about domestic violence and its impact on individuals, families, and communities. It’s a time to honor victim-survivors, educate others, and promote resources for those affected by domestic violence.

In recognition of DVAM, the Jean Nidetch Care Center hosts a multitude of events throughout the month, culminating in our annual "Take Back the Night" event. A powerful evening dedicated to supporting victim-survivors and raising awareness about ending domestic violence.

Sexual Assault Awareness Month

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM),  a time to recognize that sexual violence impacts every community and every person within it. It’s an opportunity to break down stigma, amplify victim-survivor voices, and foster a culture of education, healing, and support.

Throughout April, we host interactive workshops, events, and campus tabling to engage and educate our community. Each year, we’re committed to finding new and meaningful ways to raise awareness, create space for healing, and honor the strength and resilience of victim-survivors.

One of our key events is Denim Day, a powerful global movement where wearing denim becomes a visible statement against victim-blaming and a show of solidarity with victim-survivors.

The Care Center strives to end various forms of power-based personal violence, and we do so by offering presentations about consent, healthy relationships, and self-care. For more information about our presentations, visit our Campus Education page.
