Confidential Advocate

Did you know as a Cleveland student you have access to completely confidential relationship support? Confidential advocate Rose (they/she) holds office hours in room 237 every Tuesday and Thursday from Lunch-4pm. Confidential advocates support students navigating questions and needs around relationship safety, communication, boundaries, sexual and dating violence, coercion, stalking, harassment and more. We are here to listen, to help you process, explore your options, and understand your rights under Title IX and beyond. We can also make connections or referrals to school support, legal resources, housing, emotional/healthcare providers, as well as accompany you to appointments & meetings at the school level and beyond. We are not mandatory reporters and the privacy of all students who seek our support is protected by law; we can not speak to parents, school staff, etc. unless you explicitly ask us to. We also offer mentorship to youth ambassadors, consultation to adults, and are a free resource for PPS students, parents, and educators to call into classrooms, clubs, and meeting spaces for presentations and workshops! 

Cleveland students can call, text or email Rose at any time to make an appointment or receive confidential support remotely (they will respond as soon as possible, usually within 48 hours). 

You can also get connected to a member of our advocate team through texting or calling the PPS confidential hotline at 503-809-4357.
