If you have experienced sexual assault, relationship violence, and/or stalking, it's not your fault. You deserve to be safe and respected. No matter which resources or actions you choose, there are many people who are committed to help.

Emily Campia is a confidential resource located in the Health Center, available to meet privately with any student to talk about a range of experiences related to sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and/or stalking, regardless of where or when it has occurred. She can help connect you with on- and off-campus resources and plan for your safety and well-being. Appointments can be scheduled by calling 781-891-2222, scheduling online, or emailing ecampia@bentley.edu.
