The District encourages all students, faculty, staff, and community members in need of care and support to seek assistance from on-campus and off-campus resources. The confidential and non-confidential options here can provide you - or a friend - with information, choices, and support while offering time and space to process what has happened.
If you are experiencing an emergency situation, please contact 911.
A Responsible Employee who becomes aware of sexual assault or misconduct is required to report it immediately to the Title IX Coordinator for their site. All District employees, with the exception of student workers and licensed counselors in the Golden West College and Orange Coast College Student Health Centers, are Responsible Employees. Interested parties may find a list of confidential and non-confidential reporting and support options on the Office of Equity, Inclusion, and Compliance's Crisis Resources Live Binder, and faculty may wish to link to this resource in course Canvas shells. Please see the Staff and Faculty Resources page for additional information on the District's Responsible Employee policy.
While the District encourages immediate reporting of sexual assault, sexual misconduct, sexual harassment, stalking, and intimate partner violence to the appropriate Title IX Coordinator, we first and foremost respect the rights of the survivor to choose their own path to support and healing. Please see the below list of on-campus and off-campus confidential and non-confidential resources to determine which option best suits your needs.

When a friend, student, colleague, or family member discloses that they have been raped, sexually assaulted, or abused, there are strategies you can use to support them effectively. There are key phrases you can use and resources you can provide to demonstrate your meaningful, genuine, and lasting affirmation. RAINN's "How to Respond to a Survivor" statement is an excellent starting point.
Hearing about another person's experiences with rape, sexual assault, or abuse can also be traumatic for the listener. If you need support, please do not hesitate to contact the above on-campus or community resources.
