Where to start

  • Seek medical attention if needed. Even if there are no obvious injuries, it is important to seek medical attention from somewhere you feel comfortable.
  • Share if comfortable. Share with someone you trust such as a close friend, a family member, a professor, or a coach. Let them know what you need.
  • Connect with support. There are resources on- and off-campus that are ready to support you.

Support is available to all members of the DC community through the Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. Our sexual violence educator and support coordinator can assist you, with your consent, to:

  • Identify on-campus and community resources;
  • Create a safety plan;
  • Advocate for academic and other accommodations; and
  • Understand reporting options available to you.
