Office for Violence Prevention
The Office for Violence Prevention (OVP) seeks to engage and empower community members to actively participate in creating a campus community that is free from sexual and relationship violence by:
- Challenging cultural attitudes and beliefs that contribute to violence.
- Promoting healthy relationships, respect and tolerance for others.
- Taking responsibility for actions and inactions that perpetuate and condone violence.
- Promoting non-violent solutions for dealing with conflict and differences.
- Fostering a sense of community where all members of the UGA community feel safe and welcomed.
OVP is a refuge for students impacted by relationship and sexual violence seeking support services to begin the healing process. OVP is a resource for the campus community and advocates for individuals needing assistance, information, confidential consultation, and referral services on and off- campus. OVP also provides leadership and development opportunities for students, faculty and staff interested in making UGA a safe place for everyone.
