If you or someone you know has experienced sexual violence, dating violence, or stalking, contact The Office for Violence Prevention and Victim Assistance to speak with a confidential advocate. Advocates are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 848-932-1181.
After an act of sexual violence, it is important to take steps to ensure your emotional and physical health. You should consider going to a place that you feel secure and comfortable. If you believe you or anyone else is in immediate danger, call 911 as soon as possible.
Once you are safe, contact someone you trust to be with you for support. This could be a friend, family member, or someone on campus.
The medical centers on campus provide medical assistance, testing for STIs and preventative medication. They also will examine you for any injuries and do testing for pregnancy if that is a concern of yours. The medical center staff will keep all information you share with them confidential.
