SUPPORT OPTIONS

Support can look different at different times. Some people want to talk. Some want information. Others want to focus on health, safety, or next steps. There is no right order, and choosing one option does not require choosing another.

The options below are available whether an experience happened recently or in the past.

Confidential Support

Confidential support offers a space to talk with someone trained to listen, without pressure to report or take action.

Confidential advocates can:

• Listen and help sort through thoughts or questions
• Share information about options, rights, and campus or community resources
• Support emotional well-being and coping
• Help with safety planning, academic concerns, or navigating systems
• Provide support without requiring a formal report

Confidential services are designed to meet people where they are. Some individuals choose to talk once. Others return over time. Support remains available regardless of decisions about reporting or medical care.

At CSUDH, confidential support is available through Center for Advocacy, Prevention & Empowerment (CAPE).

Gentle Support Options

Not everyone wants to talk right away. Some people prefer to start with information, grounding tools, or quiet forms of support.

Gentle support options may include:

• Educational resources that explain experiences without labels or assumptions
• Self-guided coping or grounding tools
• Information about common reactions to interpersonal harm
• Support focused on daily functioning, rest, or stabilization
• Opportunities to check in at a later time

These options are intended for individuals who are still figuring out what feels helpful, or who want support without conversation or commitment.

Choosing gentle support does not limit access to other services later.

Seeking Medical Attention

Medical care is available whether or not someone chooses to report to law enforcement.

Medical support can include:

• Treatment for injuries or health concerns
• Sexual assault forensic exams (often available within a limited time window)
• Testing or preventative care
• Documentation of injuries, if desired

Medical care can be sought immediately, days later, or even longer after an experience, depending on needs. A medical exam does not require filing a police report.

Confidential advocates can help explain what to expect, accompany individuals if desired, or help locate medical services.

Reporting and Legal Options

Reporting is a personal choice. Some people report immediately, others later, and many choose not to report at all.

Possible options may include:

• Campus reporting options
• Law enforcement reporting
• Civil or criminal legal processes
• Protective or restraining orders
• Speaking with a legal advocate for information only

Reporting options can be discussed confidentially before any decision is made. Advocates can help explain what different processes involve, clarify rights, and support individuals through any stage of the process if they choose to move forward.

Choosing to explore reporting options does not require making a report.

A Note on Choice

Support is not a checklist or a timeline. Needs can change, and it is common to return to this page more than once.

Each option stands on its own. Support remains available regardless of what is chosen.
