Prevention, Advocacy, and Wellness Services (PAWS) supports student success by helping students navigate life’s challenges that may impact academic performance and personal well-being. Through compassionate advocacy and comprehensive care coordination, PAWS connects students with the resources they need to thrive both on and off campus.
Our team works closely with students to identify needs, reduce barriers, and provide individualized support. This includes assistance with:
- Physical and mental health concerns
- Gender-affirming care and related support services
- Housing instability or homelessness
- Food insecurity and access to basic needs
- Navigating financial stress or insurance issues
In addition to general case management, PAWS offers confidential advocacy and support for students who have experienced interpersonal violence, including rape, sexual assault, stalking, and harassment. We provide a safe, judgment-free space for students to ask questions, share experiences, receive emotional support, and connect with both campus and community resources.
PAWS is here to empower students, promote resilience, and ensure that every Fredonia student has the support they need to succeed.
