Care, Connect, Contact: Balancing Support and Compliance
Stories of sexual assault, relationship violence and stalking continue to flood the news. With the #MeToo movement, more survivors are speaking out. As an institution, we need to create a safe community with an intolerance to violence and a caring environment where survivors are believed and supported in their healing. It starts with the first person they tell. Research shows survivors are more likely to disclose an assault to someone they know and trust; such as an academic advisor or respected faculty member. How do faculty and staff provide the support students seek while still following policy around notifying the university?
