Confidential Advising Survivor Support

Main Content

Survivor Support Services

Confidential Advising services provide free and confidential support to survivors of gender-based violence. Students who have experienced sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, or stalking may access the support, resources, and information they need to safely continue their studies.

The Confidential Advisor is not an investigator, nor involved in the conduct process. Rather, the Confidential Advisor is an advocate for student survivors, providing a safe space to explore options and get connected to supportive services. 

What can a confidential advisor provide?

  • Emotional support and non-judgmental listening 
  • Education about trauma and violence 
  • Information about reporting options 
  • Assistance with filing reports and notifying local law enforcement 
  • Assistance accessing academic support 
  • Changes to on-campus living and dining assignments 
  • Changes to on-campus work assignments 
  • Transportation assistance and police escorts 
  • Safety planning and requests for No Contact Orders 
  • Referrals to other services including medical care, counseling, and community resources 
The Confidential Advisor can work with you to determine what supportive measures are appropriate and get them put in place.
