Raising Awareness About Sexual Assault
Tragically, sexual assault is a widespread and systemic issue on all college campuses. Being informed is empowering and enables you to be a resource to friends and colleagues. Everyone has the right to live and learn at WSU, free of violence or the threat of violence.
CAPS encourages all students to report sexual violence, but it is important to know that survivors are not required to report and can receive supportive services and information about their rights and accommodations without reporting. The WSU Title IX Office website has more information
If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, it's never too late to get help. WSU resources include Police (313 577-2222), CAPS, and the WSU Title IX Office. For a non-WSU resource, call 800.656.HOPE (4673) or visit online.rainn.org to chat anonymously one-on-one with a trained staff member.

Ulifeline.org is a web-based resource created by the Jed Foundation to provide students with a non-threatening and supportive link to their college's mental health center as well as important mental health information. Students are able to download information about various mental illnesses, ask questions, make appointments, and seek help anonymously via the Internet. Resources offered on Ulifeline.org include a customized version of Go Ask Alice! That allows students to have virtually any mental health question answered 24 hours a day; a mental health and drug information library that features consumer health information from Harvard Medical School; and the Duke Diagnostic Psychiatry Screening Program, which allows the Ulifeline user to be screened for different mental disorders. While this screening is not meant to take the place of an evaluation by a mental health professional, a positive result suggests that the student would benefit from comprehensive mental health screening.
