The Prevention, Advocacy & Resource Center (PARC) is a confidential, student-centered resource serving members of the Brandeis community who have been impacted by violence and those who want to contribute to the anti-violence movement.

Prevention
PARC offers lots of different workshops, events and online resources to understand the roots of violence and learn applicable skills for anti-violence work.

Advocacy
Confidential advocates are available in a variety of ways to talk about something you've experienced, explore options, discuss concerns about someone you know, and much more. Click here to see a list of just some of the things you can talk to an advocate about.

Resources
PARC seeks to engage the Brandeis community to normalize anti-violence by providing our own resources and connecting folks to others.

Peer advocates are available for drop-ins at the office, through online Chatbox or by texting from 12 - 5 p.m. Monday - Friday any day classes are in session. If you would like to schedule a meeting with a peer advocate or a professional staff member, please email parc@brandeis.edu or call them at 781-736-3371.
