Who Can I Call for Help?
In addition to all the resource people and programs listed below (just click on them), here are some suggestions for steps you can take yourself.
If you feel that you may be experiencing sexual harassment:
- When feasible, let the other person know directly that their behavior is unwelcome. Consider talking to them, or writing them a letter. If it isn't practical or possible to do this, don't let that stop you from contacting any of the other resources listed here for assistance.
- Get personal support. Don't let feelings of self-doubt or confusion stop you from seeking help or speaking out. Consider talking to someone at the Counseling Center, The House, or the Academic and Staff Assistance Program - or call SHEP at 752-9255 for a referral.
- Act quickly. The behavior will not go away. Often the behavior escalates rather than diminishes. Also, some options for remedy expire after thirty days.
- Keep a record. Note dates, places, times and witnesses, as well as the nature of the harassment.
If you are concerned about being accused of sexual harassment:
- Examine your own behavior: Could it be interpreted as sexual harassment, even if that's not your intent?
- Ask yourself how you would feel if some one acted this way toward your significant other, son or daughter.
- Contact any of the resources listed here for confidential assistance.
