Confidential Advocates
Any Lewis & Clark community member may speak with a Confidential Advocate, whether you are a survivor, a friend of a survivor, a concerned student, or a faculty or staff member. All interactions with a CA are confidential.
Confidential Advocates are trained to respond to and support sexual and interpersonal violence survivors. Each Confidential Advocate values and understands diverse perspectives, experiences, and identities. CAs are not here to tell you what to do. Instead, they offer non-judgmental support and help you understand your options. They will offer you overall assistance, support, information, and follow-up regarding any form of sexual and interpersonal violence as outlined in the Lewis & Clark College Sexual Misconduct Policy.
Appointments & Contact
Those needing support can make an appointment with an advocate using the online scheduling link below. Using this system means there is a small chance your name and email may be visible to others for a short time (all appointments are made private ASAP the next business day). Using this system will not let folks know the details of the situation or conversation that did or will happen, only that you’ll have an appointment with an advocate.
Those who are uncomfortable with using the online scheduling system are still welcome to reach out and make an appointment using the confidentialadvocate@lclark.edu email, however, using this system may take slightly longer to make an appointment.
If you use email to schedule your appointment, you do not need to provide detailed information when you first contact the advocates, and you only need to share what you feel comfortable sharing. If there is an advocate that best aligns with your identities, you can request to specifically meet with them in your email. We want to ensure that every person who seeks our support feels comfortable with their advocate, but please be mindful that some advocates may be at their capacity to support other students and work obligations.
We will do our best to respond to your email within 1-2 business days to connect you with an advocate. Once connected with an advocate, you will work with your advocate to determine the best meeting times and methods that work best for your schedules. This email is monitored Monday - Friday from 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM.
If you need support after hours or over the weekend, Call to Safety operates a 24-hr hotline (1-888-235-5333).
