The mission of the Dartmouth College Sexual Abuse Awareness Program, established in 1989, is threefold:
All members of the Dartmouth community are encouraged to become involved.
Contact any of the following resources and they will either provide or direct you to counseling, medical help, and information on how to get confidential treatment and support:
The Coordinator can provide confidential support and guidance to all service providers needed by survivors of sexual abuse. She splits her time between two offices -- one in Health Resources at the Health Service and the other at the Center for Women and Gender (CWG).
The Dean-on-Call is available after hours to address student emergencies.
Headrest is a local 24-hour hotline that provides counseling and referral for the entire community for a broad range of issues.
SAPAs is a group of students trained to respond to questions about medical, emotional, and reporting issues around sexual abuse. The names, phone numbers, and personal profiles of SAPAs can be found on the SAPA Blitzmail Bulletin. Your confidentiality will be respected. SAPA training will be held Spring '09. Applications (word doc 26.5KB) are due February 16th to Michelle de Sousa by email.
The Womens Health Program provides gynecological exams, sexually transmitted infection testing and counseling, contraception counseling, emergency contraception, and other services to women and their partners. Without going into medical specifics, students may ask for a "personal appointment." Be sure to mention that it's urgent if this is the case, so that you can be seen quickly.
WISE provides 24-hour sexual and domestic violence hotline and crisis intervention volunteers to accompany survivors of sexual abuse to area hospitals, police stations, and courts. It is a resource for the entire community.
