Office for Violence Prevention and Victim Assistance
The Office for Violence Prevention and Victim Assistance (VPVA) is an office at Rutgers University-New Brunswick that works to address issues of interpersonal violence and other crimes in our community. We specialize in addressing issues of sexual violence, relationship abuse, and stalking. In addition to consultation, policy development, and overall leadership on these issues, we provide three services to our students:

Counseling: VPVA offers trauma-informed counseling to survivors of interpersonal violence and other crimes. Counseling can be requested by calling our office Monday-Friday 8:30am-4:30pm and can be offered in-person or virtually.

We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by calling 848-932-1181. If you hear the voicemail recording, press 0 to connect with a trained, confidential advocate anytime the office is closed.
