Interpersonal Violence Program Advocate

Adrienne Graf

The Interpersonal Violence Education and Advocacy Program (IPVP) is designed to act as a resource for PSU students that find themselves in an interpersonal violence predicament.  Sexual assault (such as unwanted touching, threat of harm, or rape) and domestic violence (whether physical, emotional, economic, or verbal abuse) are both prime examples of interpersonal violence. 

If you need to talk to someone after hours about a sexual assault or domestic violence situation, call the 24/7 Portland Women’s Crisis Line toll free at 888-235-5333.
