Confidential Advocate for Victims of Violence

Destiny, the confidential advocate from the Advocacy Center of Winona, offers free and confidential services to WSU students.

This means that what you choose to share and discuss with Destiny, stays with Destiny.

Talk About Options With or Without Making an Official Report

As a confidential resource on campus, Destiny can help you explore your options without or before making an official report.

When you meet with the advocate, they will

• Listen without judgement
• Explain all of the options available to you
• Help you understand the potential outcomes of each option

After you decide which option is best for you, Destiny will provide guidance, resources and referrals.
