Seeking Professional Counseling

Each victim has his/her own timetable for recovery. Some are ready for counseling immediately; others are not. Being heard by someone who is objective, supportive, and non-judgmental is crucial in the healing process and can provide a vital source of support. Counseling services are provided through the university's counseling center (ext. 8114).

In considering counseling, the victim should realize that they are not alone, and have nothing to feel guilty or ashamed about.
