There are many on campus resources at Oregon State that are available for students who have been sexually assaulted. If you or a friend have been sexually assaulted, please seek one or more of these resources and get the help you deserve!
SASS
One of the most valuable resources here on campus is the Sexual Assault Support Services (SASS). SASS helps students who have been sexually assaulted or raped by providing emotional support in order to help them in the healing process. On the official website for SASS, they specifically say, “SASS is a team of trained or experienced counselors who provide support for students of all genders, who have experienced any form of unwanted sexual contact or relationship violence.” SASS also urges students to use their legal, counseling, and health services in order to prevent future assaults and to help catch the perpetrator.
CAPS
Another resource on campus is the Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS). CAPS is open for all students who would like counseling. It also specifically helps students who have been sexually assaulted and need to heal and open up about what happened to them. Overall it is an amazing resource that most students do not even realize is there.
Additionally, there are many other ways students can report unwanted acts of violence or sexual crimes.
