WEAVE Confidential Advocate
Dominique Rosete is the Los Rios WEAVE Confidential Advocate. Her role is to support students and staff at all four campuses who have experienced domestic violence, sexual assault/harassment, or sex trafficking.
In addition to support services, Dominique is also available for presentations. Her goal during presentations is to engage students in trauma-informed conversations about topics such as domestic violence, sexual assault & consent, healthy vs. unhealthy relationships, and bystander intervention. During these educational presentations, students will also learn about her role and services as the WEAVE Advocate and what resources she can connect them to.
If you'd be interested in a presentation, please email Dominique with your request (topics, class time/duration, etc.) at WEAVE@losrios.edu.
