Interpersonal Violence Response

University Support

Clemson University is committed to fostering an environment free of sexual harassment, including sexual assault, dating or domestic violence, gender-based harassment and bullying, stalking, and other forms of interpersonal violence.

  • Student Health Services

    Student Health Services is an integrated, outpatient organization comprised of three divisions: Medical Services, Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) and Healthy Campus. At Redfern Health Center, students have access to confidential sexual assault support services. Medical providers can assist survivors with making decisions regarding the most appropriate medical services. If a Sexual Assault Forensic Exam (SAFE) or rape kit is needed, please go to an emergency room and consider contacting Pickens County Advocacy Center (PCAC) for support. 

    Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)

    Student survivors of sexual violence can seek confidential counseling through CAPS. CAPS will also provide appropriate referral services and serve as an advocate on your behalf (accompaniment to appointments, assistance with emergency housing and academic accommodations, and support with judicial/legal processes).

    CU CARES is a CAPS program that provides services for survivors of trauma. The program provides both individual and group counseling services by providers specialized in trauma treatment. Interventions are evidenced-based and specifically target trauma and its impact.

    The choice of whether or not to file a report or move forward with an investigation is always that of the survivor when working with confidential resources. CU CARES will provide services and support no matter what this decision may be for each survivor. 

    CU CARES services can be initiated by calling CAPS at 864-656-2451 during business hours and asking to schedule a CU CARES appointment. After hours and on weekends, a counselor can be reached by calling CAPS (864-656-2451) and selecting option 2.
