You are not alone, and what happened is not your fault. Support is available—whether the incident happened recently or in the past.
If you or a friend has experienced sexual violence:
- Go somewhere safe. If you are in danger or need immediate help, call 911 or Campus Safety's emergency line at 719-389-6911.
- Seek medical attention. Even if you’re unsure about reporting, a medical provider can check for injuries, provide emergency contraception, and preserve evidence if you choose to report later.
- Talk to someone you trust. You can reach out to a confidential resource such as the Campus Advocate, Counseling Center, or Chaplain’s Office for emotional support and help understanding your options.
- Consider your options. Confidential staff can walk you through choices for medical care, safety planning, and reporting (or not reporting) to the college or law enforcement—it’s always your choice.
- Support a friend. Listen without judgment, believe them, and encourage them to connect with confidential support.
For more information about your options, visit the Support and Reporting Options and Procedures and Medical and Legal Options pages.
