The Prevention, Advocacy & Resource Center (PARC) is a confidential, student-centered resource serving members of the Brandeis community who have been impacted by violence and those who want to contribute to the anti-violence movement.

Founded in 1973, the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center (BARCC) is the only comprehensive rape crisis center in the Greater Boston area and the oldest and largest center of its kind in New England. Our mission is to end sexual violence through healing and social change.

BARCC provides free, confidential support and services to survivors of sexual violence ages 12 and up and their families and friends. We work with survivors of all genders, and our goal is to empower survivors to heal and seek justice in ways that are meaningful to them. We meet the needs of survivors in crisis and long after, and we also assist them as they navigate the health-care, criminal legal, social service, and school systems.

Our mission is to foster institutional equity by creating educational opportunities, raising awareness, and providing strategies and tools in order to make Berklee a community where all members can safely learn, work, and create. We oversee the implementation of Berklee’s Equity Policy and Process, and related campus education. We conduct fair, thorough, and equitable investigations that emphasize the rights of all concerned parties. We provide resources and supports to all parties impacted by allegations of discriminatory conduct or sexual violence. We provide leadership on equity-focused initiatives including educational programming for the Berklee community, emphasizing preventing harm, empowering bystanders, and promoting healthy relationships. We strive to collaborate effectively with various campus and community partners to best support our campus community.

We are here to listen to, affirm, and empower survivors, allies, and anyone who is in need of support in the context of these challenges. Wherever you are in your journey. You can reach one of us any time by calling 617-552-2211.

The Sexual Assault Response & Prevention Center (SARP) compassionately responds to survivors of trauma and prevents interpersonal violence through awareness and education.

SARP provides free-of-charge counseling and advocacy to Boston University students who have experienced a traumatic event. We respond to traumas such as sexual assault, dating violence, and other types of interpersonal violence. Discussions with SARP counselors are confidential and do not trigger a complaint to the University. To file an official complaint with the Offices of Equal Opportunity or Judicial Affairs please see the EEO/TIX website, the safety website or use this complaint form.

Lasell University does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, religion, veteran status, marital status, pregnancy, parental status, gender identity, sexual orientation, genetic information or any other legally protected status in in the context of employment, or in any of its policies, programs, admissions or activities and provides equal access to education. Sexual misconduct, including sexual harassment, is a form of sex discrimination that unjustly deprives a person of equal treatment. It is prohibited by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, a federal law which provides that, “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” Discrimination and harassment in employment is also prohibited under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 151B, and other applicable statutes.

When an individual experiences sexual assault or other sexual misconduct, the physical safety and emotional well-being of that person is of primary importance. A person may have been physically injured in a number of ways, may have been exposed to a sexually transmitted disease and/or may be at risk of being impregnated. The University strongly encourages any person who has experienced sexual violence to seek immediate medical attention. Additionally, if an assault has occurred very recently, there may be physical evidence that can be collected. The collection of physical evidence does not require an individual to pursue criminal or civil charges; but preserved evidence could be considered if an individual decides to pursue charges in the future.

Sexual harassment, sexual violence, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking or Title IX Sexual Harassment committed by students or employees, whether on or off campus, or by any individual on Lesley's campus or within its programs or activities, violates this Policy.

Through this Policy, Lesley intends to provide broader protections from discrimination and harassment than are afforded by state or federal laws. Accordingly, Lesley may take disciplinary or corrective actions pursuant to this policy for discriminatory or harassing misconduct which does not rise to the level of a violation of law.

Violence Prevention and Response (VPR) is MIT’s primary on-campus resource for preventing and responding to interpersonal violence including sexual assault, dating and domestic violence, stalking, and sexual harassment.

We support students by offering emotional support, providing referrals, and helping them think through their options, such as:

Obtaining medical and legal assistance

Accessing counseling services on or off campus

Navigating campus procedures, including housing, academic help, the campus reporting process, and the adaptable resolution process

All our services are free and confidential.

Mount Wachusett Community College is committed to providing an atmosphere for learning that is free of any conduct that could be considered harassing, abusive, disorderly, discriminatory or criminal. Sexual misconduct (including various categories of sexual assault), domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking violate Federal Civil Rights law and may be subject to college disciplinary sanctions and/or criminal prosecution. MWCC is committed to fostering a community that promotes prompt reporting of sexual misconduct, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking in any form and the timely and fair resolution of complaints.

The Office of Prevention and Education at Northeastern provides prevention and education services on the topics of alcohol and other drugs, sexual violence, and sexual health. We seek to provide supportive, accessible and non-judgmental services to students as well as to engage our community on wellness-related topics.

OPEN’s Sexual Violence Resource Center (SVRC) provides confidential, trauma-informed support services to Northeastern students who have experienced any form of sexual violence (i.e., sexual assault, sexual harassment, sexual exploitation, domestic/dating violence, and/or stalking). The SVRC supports students who have experienced sexual violence both recently or in the past, regardless of location.

CARE’s mission is to provide free, confidential, culturally-supportive, and trauma-informed support to all Tufts students impacted by sexual misconduct/harm and to create a culture of respect, consent, and community accountability.

We believe interpersonal violence is rooted in systems of oppression and harm disproportionately impacts marginalized communities. We aim to support Tufts students of all identities, backgrounds, nationalities, citizenships, races, ethnicities, abilities, socioeconomic statuses, religions, genders, bodies, and sexual orientations.

The Office of Sexual Assault Prevention & Response (SAPR) works to end intimate violence at Williams College by supporting students impacted by violence and implementing campus-wide prevention efforts. Through personalized workshops, public awareness campaigns, and community outreach, we deliver educational material about consent, sexual violence, partner abuse, healthy relationships, boundaries, and bystander intervention. We ground our work in data from campus climate surveys and student experiences, and engage a wide section of the student body and campus community to offer programming for different subgroups and stakeholders.

Williams SAPR also provides confidential support, education, and resource referral for students impacted by intimate violence. SASS Survivor Services, the staff-run, 24/7, confidential hotline operates out of our office and is reachable at (413) 597-3000. SASS advocates are trained to support survivors and their allies, discuss the Title IX disciplinary process, and connect students to the many resources available on campus.

SAPR also advises on policy changes and implementation as it relates to Title IX and intimate violence, and we partner with various offices and departments on campus to make resources inclusive and accessible to survivors.
