If you believe that someone you know is being stalked, there are steps that you can take to help:
- Listen and show support.
- Don’t blame the victim for the crime.
- Tell your friend that you’re worried about them, and ask how you can help.
- Encourage your friend to seek help; give them information about resources on the Marquette campus, and in the Milwaukee community.
- Remember that every situation is different, and allow the person being stalked to make choices about how to handle it.
- Find someone that you can talk to about the situation.
- Take steps to ensure your own safety.
If you would like to talk to someone, and don’t know where start, please contact HAVEN at (414) 288-5746 or haven@marquette.edu.
