We recognize our responsibility to not only support the survivors in our community, but to change the culture and prevent violence altogether. Made possible by the Office of Violence Against Women 2022 Campus Grant to Reduce Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence and Stalking, the Sexual Violence Prevention, Awareness and Resources on Campus Program (SPARC) is dedicated to providing educational opportunities and resources for survivors, and ensuring a trauma-informed response to reports of sexual and/or interpersonal violence.
For medical emergencies, call 911 or the YWCA's 24/7 hotline at 410-222-6800 to receive help with social, emotional, residential and resource needs for survivors of domestic and sexual violence.
To learn more about our resources and programs, visit the Virtual Health & Wellness Center for 24/7 access to on- and off-campus resources, educational materials and more.
