For Students Who Have Experienced Sexual or Relationship Violence
If you have experienced sexual or relationship violence, Stony Brook University’s Survivor Advocate & Prevention Specialist (Survivor Advocate) is here to help you.
The Survivor Advocate provides confidential support to Stony Brook students who experience any kind of sexual or relationship violence, including domestic violence, dating violence and stalking. They can provide you with support and connect you to resources both on and off campus, such as assisting you with obtaining medical care, psychological counseling and other services that can help you heal.
