You are not alone. Every person has the right to feel safe. You have options.

At UWL, your safety and well-being are paramount. Violence in any form can deeply impact your ability to learn and thrive. If you, or someone you know, experiences sexual assault, stalking, or relationship violence, confidential help and support are available.

Requesting Confidential Support:

Our Violence Prevention Specialist offers free, confidential advocacy, information and support for all UWL students, faculty, and staff. We help you understand your choices and access the help you need. This includes:

Referrals: Connections to on-campus and off-campus resources (counseling, medical, academic, financial).

Safety Planning: Personalized strategies to enhance your safety.

Reporting Information: Clear details on university conduct, Title IX, and police reporting options. Please note: You are not required to report to get help.

Advocacy: Support during interviews, court hearings, and with restraining orders.

For confidential assistance, visit our our people page.

Additional resources can be found on UWL's Title IX and Counseling & Testing Center webpages.
