Relationship Abuse
Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Stalking, Controlling Relationships
The campus Office of Sexual Assault & Relationship Abuse Education & Response (SARA) addresses student concerns, and assists students who may be dealing with the impact of domestic violence and relationship abuse. The Office is also available for consultation with faculty and staff to address student disclosures and other concerns related to sexual and relationship violence.
The SARA Office may be reached during business hours at
(650) 725-9129 or saraoffice@stanford.edu .
Stanford also has a strong working relationship with community agencies. The Center for Relationship Abuse Awareness (CRAA) supports students and our community by creating an environment that does not tolerate any form of relationship violence. Domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking can be serious problems that have a profound effect on the individuals involved and their friends and neighbors. According to the American Bar Association, 28% of students on college campuses experience dating /domestic violence.
