Get support
It is never your fault to have experienced a sexual assault and you are not alone in your recovery. There are several campus and local resources that you can approach to seek medical support, psychological support, guidance to resources, crisis hotlines, safety planning, and life skills and planning. You can also choose to report the assault to the university or the police. If you are concerned about your safety, you can obtain restraining order (protection from abuse/stalking orders). Remember, we believe in you and you are not alone.
