It’s hard to know what to do, how to feel, or what your options are after a sexual assault. Please know that you’re not alone. Below are some things to keep in mind. If you are in immediate danger or seriously injured, call 911.
- Your safety is important. Are you in a safe place? If you’re not feeling safe, consider reaching out to someone you trust for support. You don’t have to go through this alone.
- What happened was not your fault. Something happened to you that you didn’t want to happen—and that’s not OK.
- Call the Marshall University Police Department at 304-696-HELP (4357) or 911. They will respond and provide information you may need to go to the appropriate local health facility that can care for survivors of sexual assault and there may be a trained advocate to accompany you.
