The purpose of CARE's annual Sexual Assault Action Month (SAAM) campaign is to increase the Northwestern community's understanding of the roots and impacts of sexual assault, to motivate all community members to contribute to prevention and survivor support, and to foster connection and healing for sexual assault survivors.
The 2025 theme for Sexual Assault Action Month is Collective Action, Collective Care. This April, we will focus on co-creating spaces of mutual support, collective action, and shared learning for survivors and all people who have been impacted by sexual harm with the understanding that work toward healing and well-being is always communal.
Health Promotion and Wellness (HPaW) is the primary provider of health promotion, education, and prevention programs and services on alcohol, other drugs, and wellness issues for Northwestern University students. HPaW engages students through campus-wide, group, and individual educational initiatives.
Creating and maintaining a healthy and safe community that fosters student wellness is a shared responsibility. Read about how each of the groups below is working to create an environment in which all students can thrive.
