Resources At Syracuse University

One of the most important and successful aspects of Syracuse University's support against domestic violence is the counseling center.  The center helps to identify what domestic violence is, signs of an abusive relationship, and answers some common questions.  For more information about the counseling center click here.  Syracuse University also has a student run organization called A Men's Issue (AMI) which focuses on men taking a stand against domestic violence.

The University has recently partnered with Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) to educate college students on issues surrounding domestic violence.  The program is currently targeted at campus leaders and greek life, however it could be expanded to everyone soon.  The idea behind the program is that students can help to resolve issues that have been traditionally considered "women's issues".  The program was developed at Northeastern University and is in it's second year here at Syracuse University.  For more information you can click here or you can contact MVP at
