How do I know if someone needs help?
How to tell if you or a friend may need help? Strength is when we seek help; learn more about the signs or symptoms that may be reason for concern.
Where do I turn?
We welcome you to stop in and ask to see a nurse or mental health provider.
What can I do regarding concerns about abusive relationships?
If you or someone you know has experienced sexual violence or intimate partner violence, contact the Campus Advocacy Coordinator, Myisha Butler-Ibawi, at mbutler@ccssd.org for resources and assistance.
