Violence Intervention Protection (VIP) Center

Ms. Taryn Henning

Where is VIP located?
We're located in lower level Frazee Hall, next to the construction for the brand new student center.

What do I do if I need to speak with an advocate?
Come by VIP anytime 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, to speak confidentially with a staff person. We support all students, faculty, and staff in the UK community. There is no cost. You can share as little or as much as you wish and we will listen and help you explore options and resources.

What can I expect when walking into the VIP Center for the first time?
People come to the VIP Center for the first time for many reasons. Many want to get involved or learn more about us, and others walk in because they or someone they care about has been impacted by sexual or gender-based interpersonal violence. No matter your reason for walking in, expect to be warmly greeted and immediately connected to the confidential resources you are seeking. Each person will be the guide to the services they receive. We won't press for details, force you to make a police report, or direct you toward any services you don't want. We will do whatever is necessary to provide you with the support YOU need.

Objectives

Understand the full resource you have available
