Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

SAPAC has had an online chat program since 2013. We have a page of 
information about the limits of anonymity in an on-line environment, but we 
did work hard with our technology provider to make the environment as secure 
as possible, even though access to the service us behind an authentication  
screen so that we only serve U-M community members. You can check it out at 
sapac.umich.edu and click on the "advocate chat" button on top right corner.
