April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month!
Use Your Power! Come out to our events during Sexual Assault Awareness Month #saam to learn more so you can #recognize dangerous situations, #support a friend, or learn how to #intervene. Tweet & instagram our hashtags. Ask for consent every time in every sexual encounter. Tell us about it at #iaskforconsent! Read about all our events at www.udel.edu/saam. Call Student Wellness at 831-3457 if you have questions about the events.
Financial Resources
Financial Options:
- Victims who file a police report in Delaware (whether the case is pursued by the Attorney General's Office or not) are eligible to have medical expenses, mental health counseling costs, lost wages from missed work, damaged property, and a list of other expenses paid for by the Victim's Compensation Assistance Program. The S.O.S. Coordinator has copies of the application forms at Wellspring and can assist you with this process.
- If you reported your assault to University officials so that charges could be brought through the Office of Student Conduct and you eventually choose to withdraw from the University because of your assault, you may be able to receive a partial refund for what you paid for the semester. You can ask questions about these options with a staff member at the Office of Student Conduct.
To reach the SOS Victim Advocate on duty (24 hrs/day) call 302-831-2226. The person who answers will take a first name and phone number and the advocate will call you back within 10 minutes.
