Your first step is to get to a safe place.

Once you are in a safe place, talk to someone you trust about the incident—like a family member, friend, or counselor. Ideally, this will be someone who can provide you with emotional support and help you make a plan.

Next, reach out to one or more of the support resources for assistance with making a decision about whether to:

• seek medical attention,
• report to law enforcement, and/or
• file a formal complaint with the university.
