Confidential support is available whether someone wants to talk, ask questions, explore options, or simply not feel alone. There is no requirement to take any action after reaching out. Confidential resources can listen, provide information, and help explore options without sharing personal details with the university or law enforcement, unless required by law (such as in cases involving child abuse or immediate danger). Individuals may choose any confidential resource that feels right for them.
