Institutional Resources
The following options exist for counseling, advocacy, and support for victims of sexual misconduct. These resources are available whether or not an individual chooses to make an official report to the College or to law enforcement.
The Employee/Student Assistance Program (EAP/SAP) offers counseling services and/or legal advice for both the complainant and the respondent involved in cases of sexual assault, harassment, discrimination, or other sexual misconduct. All services are confidential and at no cost to all students, employees, family members, significant others, and anyone residing in the student’s or employee’s household. Access to the EAP/SAP is 24/7 by phone or in person by appointment. EAP/SAP staff will be able to connect an individual with a local counselor to meet face to face by appointment. In crisis situations, counselors are available to talk by phone 24/7. The EAP/SAP provides short-term, solution- focused counseling. Although there is no charge for services provided under the benefit, the benefit does have limits on the level of service and length of time a service will be provided at no cost. If there is a need for longer-term treatment, EAP/SAP counselors will be able to help with appropriate recommendations and referrals.
