照顾好自己

Hearing about violence can be a very upsetting experience. Here are some things to keep in mind when supporting a survivor (in addition to the suggestions above):

• 意识到你的感觉是正确的. 实践自我同情.
• Pay attention to your own needs — this could mean setting boundaries, taking extra time for activities that you enjoy, 等.
• 如果需要, seek outside resources to help you get through this difficult time: you could talk to a counselor, 亲密的朋友, or hotline — just make sure that you respect the survivor’s privacy.

学术支持

在一起暴力事件之后, people often experience a range of reactions that can impact their ability to perform well at school or work. 其中包括:

• 睡眠模式紊乱
• 不能集中注意力
• 对事件的全神贯注
• 头痛
• 焦虑和/或抑郁
• 害怕离开安全空间

A student experiencing any of the above may want to reduce their academic load for the semester. When there has been a serious situation such as a sexual assault or domestic violence, the University will support a change in your academic schedule, 即使过了最后期限. 这可能包括:

• 把类
• 安排未完成的课程
• 正在休假
• 退学

Professors will often be very accommodating regarding deadlines and will work with students to complete a course when proper documentation is provided.

讨论有关学术支持的选择, 学生可以和教务长交谈, 第九条协调员, 他们的学术顾问, 或者是学院院长.

For Student Leaders, Resident Assistants, Staff, and Faculty Helping Survivors

• Thank the survivor for trusting you enough to share, and ask them if they are getting support. 推荐学生, 教师, 或工作人员适当的资源, if desired and notify the 第九条协调员.
• Please refrain from asking the survivor about the details of the incident.
• 提供选项. 清楚你能做什么，不能做什么. 例如, 作为学术顾问, you could help the student adjust their course load, 退学, 更改评分选项, 并提供推荐. It is not appropriate to become an informal counselor.
• Faculty can be supportive by offering academic flexibility as the student is likely to have difficulty focusing for a period of time. Check to see if the student feels safe in your class/lab/section/等… and if not, please contact the Dean of Students 办公室 for assistance.
• 保护幸存者的隐私. As much as it’s normal to want to talk with someone when we hear upsetting situations, 这应该是没有名字和细节的. With the exception of staff at 咨询服务 and Student Health Services, all university staff and 教师 have a reporting responsibility under the Clery行为 so please let the person know this as early in the conversation as possible.
• 注意自己的需要和自我照顾. People in supporting roles may benefit from consultation or counseling with a professional.
