Being victimized by sexual assault can leave emotional injuries as well as physical ones. Victims often suffer alone because sexual assault is a very intimate and personal crime. Talking with someone about what happened can help reduce your sense of isolation and start you on a path to healing.
All resources listed here are victim-centered, meaning you will remain in control of all decisions that are made regarding your healing and courses of action. Information you share with the on-campus resources below will be kept confidential to the extent allowed by law and will not be shared with your instructors or deans without your consent.
