CARE (Consent Advocacy and Relationship Education)
Unfortunately, confusing and abusive situations occur. Rape and sexual harassment, be they by acquaintances or strangers DO happen at Harvard. If you are struggling with questions about or feelings about a scary or confusing incident or comment, you should not feel that you have to deal with it alone. Quincy House tutors Heather Lorentz, Jennifer Cloutier, and Jennifer Lo are trained CARE advisors and would be happy to talk with you about any SASH related questions or topics.
We hope you will not hesitate to consult with Heather or Jennifer, or the Resident Dean, who is also an official Consent Advocacy and Relationship Education Advisor. Contact Judith at 5-2286 (office) or via Email.
