Cabot House is committed to gender justice, reproductive health, and personal empowerment, with a clear standard: every student deserves a safe learning and living environment free from interpersonal harm. CARE (Consent Advocacy and Relationship Education) advances that mission by combining education, peer-centered advocacy, and community care, grounded in equity, justice, and inclusion, to strengthen a culture of respect, consent, and belonging.

In close partnership with the [SHARE Counselors](https://csndr.harvard.edu/share) in the Office for Community Support, Non-Discrimination, Rights and Responsibilities, CARE helps ensure that anyone in Cabot who has experienced or witnessed harm can access support without barriers. We facilitate connections to 24/7 confidential support, trauma-informed counseling, education and support groups, community referrals, and individualized advocacy—so students can find the right resource at the right time.

Tutors, including CARE tutors, are "responsible employees" which means they are required to share information about gender-based harassment, relationship violence, and sexual assault or misconduct with the Title IX Resource Coordinator. While that doesn't automatically trigger a Title IX investigation, we recognize that some students would prefer confidential resources.
