Even if you are questioning or unsure, it's always better to talk to someone about a person or situation of concern. Recognizing and reporting early signs of a potentially dangerous situation is crucial to violence prevention. Your participation is the first step to keeping our campus safe.
We offer many resources to help, whether you want to:
- Talk to someone about a person or situation
- Report a threatening or potentially dangerous person or situation
- Help a friend
- Seek counseling
- Pursue police action, personal protection or disciplinary measures
- Find resources to help you out of a threatening and potentially violent situation, including violent or abusive relationships.
No matter the situation, we highly encourage you to talk to one of our reporting & counseling resources.
