Advocacy Services

Help is available.

Many students, staff and faculty have found PLU’s Advocacy Services to be a good starting point for getting the help they need. Advocates are trained and confidential.

PLU’s Advocates provide individuals with options and resources so they can make informed decisions about their situation. They offer a safe, private setting to talk with individuals who have questions or concerns about sexual assault, intimate partner violence, or stalking. Those who speak with an advocate can share as much or as little information about their situation as they like.
