Confidential Resources

We know that, though the campus provides training and information to these staff members, many student victims do not feel comfortable talking to law enforcement, campus administrators, professors, or advisors. Healing can look different for everyone. Additional services, including confidential options, are available to victims, both on and off campus. Here are confidential resources a victim may utilize. A report to these organizations, both on campus and off, will not result in an institutional response from UW–Madison or a law enforcement investigation.*

*Exceptions to confidentiality include reports of child abuse (victims 17 or younger), elder abuse, and threats of imminent harm to self or others. Reports and disclosures made to these offices will not result in a formal institutional response from UW–Madison.
