VIP Center Violence, Intervention and Prevention Center

At the VIP Center (Violence, Intervention and Prevention Center), our mission is to support and advocate for individuals impacted by interpersonal violence while engaging the University of Kentucky and the surrounding community in interpersonal violence education and prevention. We believe we all have a role to play in keeping others safe from harm.  

People visit the VIP Center for the first time for many reasons. People may want to learn more about how to get involved, schedule a prevention education program, or make an appointment with a confidential advocate. Our VIP staff stands ready to serve you, whether it is because you or someone you care about has experienced interpersonal violence, which might include intimate partner violence, sexual violence and stalking, or because you want to learn more about VIP. No matter your reason, expect to be warmly greeted and immediately connected.
