Supporting Resources

Because experiencing sexual harassment or a sexual assault can be traumatic, it’s important for employees to know about available resources to support persons affected by sexual harassment or sexual assault in the workplace.

Any Employee Assistance Program offered by the company
Sexual Assault and/or Sexual Harassment Helplines, local or national. Usually these resources are 24/7.
A Workplace Violence Program Manager, if one exists. Often this individual is a professional victim advocate specially trained in these matters.
Victim Advocate Liaisons, if this network exists (usually in larger organizations). These are usually trained full-time employees who volunteer for this role in a service capacity. While typically not counselors or therapists, these liaisons often operate under the direction of a Workplace Violence Program Manager.
Any other private or public sexual violence associations and organizations, as well as legal resources.
