Healing & Recovery

Campus Advocate Team (CAT)

The Campus Advocate Team (CAT) is a free and confidential on-campus resource for students, staff and faculty at Humboldt. CAT is a program of the North Coast Rape Crisis Team, a private non-profit organization that has been contracted by Humboldt to provide specialized services to the Humboldt community. CAT provides 24-hour, completely confidential support to any Humboldt student, staff, or faculty member who wants to talk about harm they’ve survived, or explore their options for support and/or holding accountable the person who harmed them.

CAT works with the university, but not for Humboldt.  Who CAT works for is survivors of sexualized violence, including stalking, sexual assault, sexual harassment, and intimate partner violence.

CAT offers individual counseling and support groups led by certified sexual assault counselors. They offer support no matter where you are in your process of healing. CAT will accompany you to the hospital or to file a report, they will work to answer any questions you may have, and can also provide you with referrals for local therapists and other community resources that may fit your needs.
