Self-Harm
Sexual Assault
If you are in immediate danger call 9-1-1
If you have experienced sexual assault, domestic/dating violence, and/or stalking, it is important to remember that you are not responsible for what happened - it is not your fault. The only person who could have prevented the act of violence was the perpetrator. When beginning the healing process, it can be helpful to choose to be with people who will believe what you say and support you. Whether you want to talk about your experiences or not, there are many people and resources that can help in your recovery.
It is completely normal to not know if you want to report an incident of sexual assault, dating/domestic violence, or stalking. It is your right to be provided with information to help you make that informed decision. CSUN's Campus Care Advocate (see below) can help you sort out your options and can accompany you to get medical attention as well as to any proceedings related to the sexual misconduct.

Strength United is a chartered center of California State University, Northridge (CSUN), which provides comprehensive Sexual Assault Advocacy and Counseling.
Survivors of sexual violence choose to file or not file a report for many different reasons. There is no one right choice. If you would like to talk to someone first about what is involved in the various processes of reporting, a confidential counselor at Strength United is available 24 hours a day at 818-886-0453 OR 661-253-0258. You can also talk to the Campus Care Advocate about this. Strength United advocates and Campus Care Advocates are also available to accompany you if you choose to make a report to CSUN Police Services, CSUN’s Title IX Coordinator, CSUN’s Office of Student Affairs, or the appropriate law enforcement agency.

CSUN Police Department
CSUN Police Department - Rape and Sexual Violence
Campus Police: (818) 677-2111
Reporting to CSUN’s Department of Police Services and/or local police is an option at any time. If you choose not to report to the police immediately following a sexual violence incident, you can still make a report at a later time. However, with the passage of time, the ability to gather evidence to assist with criminal prosecution may be limited. Depending on the circumstances, the police may be able to obtain a criminal restraining order on your behalf.
To report an incident to CSUN’s Department of Police Services, call 818-677-2111.
For more information and resources, including how to make an anonymous report, please visit CSUN Police Department's Rape and Sexual Violence page.
If you are not sure who to contact or would like help in making the report, you can call 818-677-2077 to speak with your Campus Title IX Coordinator.
Title IX Coordinator
Jessica Galanos
Office of Equity and Compliance
University Hall 285
(818) 677-2077
The University has designated a Campus Title IX Coordinator to monitor and oversee all matters related to discrimination and harassment on the basis of gender/sex. The Title IX Coordinator is available to explain and discuss your right to file a criminal complaint; the University’s relevant complaint process and your right to receive assistance with that process, including what an investigation entails; how confidentiality is handled; available resources, both on and off campus; and other related matters. Students who have experienced sexual violence are encouraged to seek immediate assistance from police and healthcare providers for their physical safety, emotional support and medical care. The Title IX Coordinator is available to assist you in notifying university police, if you wish. University police can escort you to a safe place and transport you to a hospital or a sexual assault response center for a medical examination, if needed. The Title IX Coordinator can also provide you access to a confidential care advocate. You are strongly encouraged to seek assistance from the Title IX Coordinator who can provide you with information on your options, rights and remedies.
Visit the Equity and Compliance Title-IX webpage for more information and resources for sexual violence prevention and awareness.

Academic Accommodations
We know that experiencing these issues can affect many aspects of a student’s life. The goal is to remedy the effects on students as much as possible and support them in being successful in their education. The Title IX Coordinator can work with departments in arranging academic accommodations.
Klotz Student Health Center
(818) 677-3666
The Klotz Student Health Center (SHC) is committed to providing students with physical and emotional care following incidents of sexual assault, domestic/dating violence, and stalking. During clinic hours, students can be seen by medical professionals specially trained to care for students who have experienced these issues. Depending on the circumstances, medical services may include emergency contraception, STI testing, pregnancy testing, and antibiotics to treat a potential infection. For full forensic exams free of charge, the SHC will help the student make arrangements to receive the full examination at the Northridge Center for Assault Treatment Services (CATS) in Van Nuys. A forensic exam may be performed that can preserve evidence in case the student would like to report the incident at a later time. In addition, they can provide access to resources, including referrals to on- and off-campus support services. To contact the Klotz Student Health Center, please call 818-677-3666.
Housing Accommodations
Many students who have experienced sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic/dating violence, and/or stalking no longer feel safe within their current living situation. The Title IX Coordinator can assist students with a variety of options for housing modifications depending on the circumstances. To discuss possible options, call the Title IX Coordinator at 818-677-2077.
