The advoChat is back for Spring 2024! 

The AdvoChat is a bi-weekly, 1-hour session on a variety of topics related to advocacy. These range from basic education on accessing resources, core principles and activities of advocacy, and basic information about prevention of power-based personal violence such as sexual violence and interpersonal violence. The advoChat also focuses on building advocacy skills through communication skills, developing messaging and resources, and 

advoChats are held on Mondays from 3:00-4:00pm, unless the University is closed (and it will be scheduled for the next available date).

Sessions include time to answer participant questions, which can be submitted in advance through peeradvocates@mail.wvu.edu. Participants in need of confidential assistance should call the Equity Assurance Hotline at 304-906-9930
