If you or someone you know has experienced sexual assault or another form of interpersonal violence, there are many options and resources available on campus and in the local community. These options should be evaluated and chosen on a case-by-case basis determined by the needs and desires of the survivor. Every person responds to and heals from sexual assault and trauma differently.
