ADVOCACY
Our advocacy team provides survivor-centered care, seeking to empower survivors by prioritizing their rights and ensuring access to all of their options and resources. Advocates focus on centering how survivors define safety for themselves, the needs that they have identified, and providing support as they navigate their next steps. Our services are CONFIDENTIAL AND FREE to students, staff, faculty, OSU alumni and those impacted by a member of the OSU community.

PREVENTION & EDUCATION
Prevention & Education Services at CAPE helps the OSU community build and practice skills to address root causes of gender-based violence. Our team provides learning and engagement opportunities to build healthy relationships and sexuality. Our activities — including skills based workshops, sexual health education, safer sex supplies, consent education and prevention consultations — promote a culture of consent as well as a sense of community and belonging on campus.
Upcoming CAPE Events:
January is Stalking Prevention & Awareness Month, also known as SPAM! Help us promote SPAM events with our toolkit and follow our Instagram account throughout the month for ways to engage, learn, and show your support to survivors. 💛
Join us for Circle of Support in-person on the Corvallis campus, on Tuesdays from 3-4:30 p.m. and via Zoom on Wednesday from 11 a.m.-12:15 p.m. PST. Email us for more information and location or Zoom info.
CAPE is committed to raising awareness of the impact of gender-based violence on both the individual and the community. We develop evidence-informed training programs to educate the OSU community about CAPE's resources, the dynamics of gender-based violence, and how you can actively engage to eliminate gender-based violence. Additionally, we can work with your organization or department to further develop your trauma-informed response to disclosures.
