What are my options if I am sexually assaulted?

If a sexual assault occurs, it can be a very traumatizing event, but there are ways to get help.

- On HSU campus, you can get in touch with a variety of people who will help you with the situation including RA's, Faculty and Staff members, HSU Police, and The Student Health and Counseling Center.

- Many people who are victims of sexual assault believe it is their fault and don't do anything about it.  A sexual assault is not something that generally just goes away, so even if no criminal charges are filed, talking with a professional can help make the transition back to "life as it was before" an easier task.

- There are several informative websites that can help you understand and make decisions.
