My professors are kind-hearted persons

At the CBU, my professors are really good and really kind-hearted persons, so I would first go to my professor so that we can let them know what has happened. I would personally go with my friend so she can have support. [...] Along with that, the mental [health] of course - that is a really good thing.

Recommendations

  • When responding to a disclosure or report of sexual violence, highlight that students have the choice to involve support people of their choice, including friends or family members. Offer to reach out to support people if the student prefers. This applies to the victim/survivor or complainant and respondent.
