Sexual Misconduct Survivor Resources

If this is an emergency, call 911.

Immediate Action Steps

1. Remove yourself from the situation and get to a safe place. Use a distraction if needed and if possible to find a way to exit a situation and find a place you feel safe.
2. Call someone you trust. A friend, family member, or victim advocate centers are good resources. You are NOT alone.
3. Preserve evidence. Consider these actions you’re comfortable with to help with your options in the future:
   • Try to refrain from showering until a hospital visit.
   • Place any unwashed clothes you were wearing in a paper or cloth bag.
   • Take photos of any physical injury or damage to property.
   • Try not to use the restroom until you are at the hospital.
4. Go to the hospital. A medical provider can check for injury, sexually transmitted infections, and pregnancy. If you are in Wayne, you can go to Providence Medical Center for medical services including counseling services and nurses specially trained to respond to sexual assault.

2. Consider contacting the police. This is your choice. The sooner you contact the police, the better they can support you in a criminal investigation. If you are in Wayne, you may also call the Wayne Police Department’s non-emergency line at 402-375-2626.

At Any Time

1. Discuss your options with the college. You are encouraged to report what happened to the Title IX coordinator. When you give notice to the Title IX coordinator, they will walk you through all the resources available and actions that can be taken by the college to help.
