At the Center for Survivors, we offer support that respects your privacy and your choices.

When providing services, CFS staff are exempt from MSU’s mandatory reporting requirements to MSU Police and the Title IX office. Our records are confidential and kept separate from other campus records.

You don’t have to figure it out alone. A confidential advocate can listen and help you explore your options.

For 24/7 confidential support, call 517-372-6666.

You deserve care. That might look like resting, taking a break from news or social media, or connecting with someone you trust.

There is no one right way to care for yourself. These are small options to consider.

We are here to listen and support you. For 24/7 confidential support, call 517-372-6666.

The news cycle has felt incredibly heavy lately. News about sexual violence can bring up difficult feelings, especially for survivors and the people who care about them. Everyone responds differently, and whatever you are feeling deserves care.

It is okay to pause, limit what you take in, or reach out to someone you trust.

We are here to support you. For 24/7 confidential support, call 517-372-6666.

Socks are one of the most requested, but least donated items by people in need.
This October help make a difference by donating new socks. Drop them in a collection box in the lobby of Olin Health Center or shop using our Amazon Wishlist and have your donation shipped directly to us.

Every pair donated support Spartan Shelf and the Center for Survivors.

Help meet an important basic need for fellow Spartans. Find the link in the comments.
