Office of Sexual Assault Prevention
Services:
The Evergreen State College, Office of Sexual Assault Prevention was created to provide culturally sensitive and appropriate services and support to survivors of sexual assault. Some of the services include:
- Information about reporting procedures and what to expect;
- Accompaniment to the hospital, during a sexual assault exam, and/or to the police station;
- Legal advocacy, assistance with protective orders, and court accompaniment;
- Emergency crisis intervention, counseling and referrals;
- Counseling for the victim’s partner, spouse or family;
- Assistance in accessing community resources;
- Services specific to traditionally under-served groups;
- Information about sexually transmitted diseases, HIV and pregnancy testing.
The Office provides advocacy and support as well as education and prevention programs designed to increase student awareness about sexual assault, and reduce student risk of sexual assault, on college campuses. Educational programs are facilitated throughout the year, often collaborating with student affairs, residential life staff, health and counseling, and various student groups to offer culturally relevant programming for all students.
If you would like to request an educational program from the Office, please contact Coordinator, Talcott Broadhead at (360) 867-5221.
The Office of Sexual Assault Prevention is mandated by federal law to report information about campus assault that does not identify the survivor, but which must be reported for statistical purposes (according to the Jeanne Clery Act sometimes known as the Campus Security Act).
