I CARE at the University of South Dakota is working toward prevention of domestic/dating violence, sexual assault and stalking (DVSAS) in the campus community. We do this by:
- Managing a coordinated community response team to enhance victim services
- Strengthening prevention and education programs
- Responding to DVSAS with a victim-centered, culturally competent approach
- Providing educational materials, presentations and workshops on DVSAS, bystander intervention, healthy relationship education, and other relevant topics
- Mobilizing students and other community members to be a part of the solution
