Be The Example

If you have been a victim of Dating Violence, Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and/or Stalking (DVDVSAS), here are some resources:

When it comes to utilizing campus resources, please understand that some resources are confidential and are not required to disclose any information about you or your situation though, depending on specifics, they may need to generally report that something occurred for Clery Compliance. 

However, most campus reources are NOT confidential, meaning they are required to provide information to the campus Title IX office. That said, you get to choose if you want to engage with Title IX in any way, if at all. 

With any of these resources, your information will be kept PRIVATE, but being "Not Confidential" means they do have to inform Title IX. 

CAMPUS RESOURCES

The Counseling Center: A confidential resource, meaning you can say anything you need to about your experiences with DVDVSAS without it being required to be reported. Email counseling@guilford.edu or call us at 336-316-2163

The Friends Center: Ministers and Pastors are also confidential resources, meaning you can say anything you need to about your experiences with DVDVSAS without it being required to be reported. Wess Daniels at the Friends Center is another campus confidential resource. Email danielscw@guilford.edu or friendscenter@guilford.edu to schedule a time to speak to Wess. 

Do not share information you would like to be private/confidential in an email!

Res Ed Staff: Your RAs and the Residential Education staff (ACDs, CDs, and the Director) are also available to help connect you to resources on campus. They are NOT confidential resources but do receive regular training on how to support people dealing with DVDVSAS. When acting as your friend, the RAs get to engage with you as your peers, but anything you tell them when they are on duty or in their RA roles is NOT CONFIDENTIAL. 

PSafe: If you are worried for your safety, PSafe can help you discuss options from no-contact orders to campus bans, and can even support you if you pursue some legal protections like a 50B restraining order. Contacting PSafe is NOT confidential. Call 336-316-2909. 

Title IX: If you have experienced DVDVSAS and it is impacting your ability to function successfully as a student, the Title IX office can support you in receiving accommodations. They are also responsible for ensuring that your right to access your education is not being violated. Title IX is NOT confidential. Email TitleIX@guilford.edu.

Student Disability Services/Accessibility Resource Center: SDS staff can support you in developing an accommodations plan if you are having trouble accessing your classes successfully for reasons related to DVDVSAS. If you reach out directly, information you share with SDS to develop an accommodations plan will NOT be confidential; however if you reach out through one of the confidential resources on this list, a plan may be able to be developed in ways that do not require notifying the Title IX office. 

You are also welcome to speak to any trusted staff or faculty members. They are NOT confidential resources, but may be able to help you consider what other resources are available to you and most make sense for you.
