What To Do After You Have Been Assaulted or Raped
Go to a Place That is Safe.
Your first concern should be if you are in a safe place. Go to a friend's room
or to your Resident Assistant and/or Resident Director.
Tell Someone.
Let someone know what has happened to you so that they may provide emotional
support for you. Pick a friend you trust, a Resident Assistant, Resident
Director, Campus Police, or any College Staff or faculty member. Let someone
help you.
Seek Medical Attention.
See a doctor immediately for treatment of any injuries. The doctor can provide
important medical evidence should you choose to report the assault or rape
and press charges.
Don't Shower,
bathe, douche or change clothes before you seek medical attention.
Report the Assault or Rape
to the appropriate police agency (Campus Police if the crime took place on
campus, Town Police if the crime took place off campus).
Seek Counseling.
Consult a trained rape-crisis counselor through HAVEN, OASIS, the Psychological
Counseling Center, or Ulster County Crime Victims.
