Are you SAFE?

Cal U envisions a culture in which we all feel safe, empowered, and free from dating/domestic violence.

What is dating/domestic violence? Dating/domestic violence is the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and/or other abusive behavior as part of a systematic pattern of power and control perpetrated by one intimate partner against another. It includes physical violence, sexual violence, psychological violence, and emotional abuse. The frequency and severity of dating/domestic violence can vary dramatically; however, the one constant component is one partner’s consistent efforts to maintain power and control over the other.

If you are not safe or are in need of resources, there is help. Please reach out to one of the following resources:
