Resources for Students who Experience Sexual Assault & Misconduct
Survivor Concerns
A survivor may experience many conflicting emotions in the aftermath of a sexual assault including shock, fear, anger, guilt, shame, or numbness. Each survivor鈥檚 response is unique. Often students who have experienced a sexual assault find that their eating, sleeping, exercise, self-care or social patterns have changed, that they are isolating themselves from others, or that they are unable to concentrate on schoolwork. Whether someone chooses to report an assault or not, talking with a counselor or a trusted friend or family member can be very helpful.
