Get Help

If you have been the victim of sexual violence:

1. Go to a safe place

Go to a place where you can find physical safety and emotional support. This may be the home (or room) of a friend, a family member, a member of the Residence staff, a colleague or a supervisor.

2. Seek Health Care/Counselling
