Helpful Tips
Tips for Sexual Assault Prevention- Practice Affirmative Consent, which is affirmative, conscious, voluntary, mutually given before all sexual acts during every sexual encounter, and can be revoked or withdrawn at any time.
- Be an active bystander by intervening to prevent sexual assault, harassment, or other forms of violence. You can find advice for intervening at the following link Incapacitation and Bystander Intervention.
- Watch recorded presentations focused on healthy relationships, consent, and forms of abuse. The presentations are available on the Wellness Education and Workshops website.
Tips for Communicating with Survivors of Sexual Violence and Assault
- Thank survivors for trusting you if they choose to disclose to you.
- Inform a survivor if you are a mandated reporter. Are you unsure if you are a mandated reporter? Be on the lookout for a new video coming soon detailing who are mandated reporters and what their role means.
- Ask how you can help them.
- Listen without judgment.
- Encourage them to utilize campus resources for additional help and support. For more information, contact Student Health & Counseling Services at 916-278-6461.
