Our Services

SHARE can help in many ways.   Our hotline is here for everyone: survivors, their friends, and other concerned community members.  

We are here to listen and help you:

• process your experiences
• consider your options for filing criminal or disciplinary charges
• evaluate your need for medical attention
• strategize about the day-to-day challenges of coping with sexual assault
• set up ongoing counseling if you wish
• activate additional support systems

If you are a student, we can help with any responsive actions you take.  (If you are not a student, we will connect you with other advocacy resources.)  We can expedite appointments, accompany you, and generally facilitate the process of working with:

• Yale Health Acute Care
• Yale-New Haven Emergency Services
• the Yale Police Investigative Unit
• the University-Wide Committee on Sexual Misconduct
• the Title IX Coordinators

We work with the Yale community to build a safer, more supportive campus.  In addition to our lending library (click here for a current list of books and dvds), we offer information, training and educational services on:

• the dynamics of sexual misconduct
• criminal and disciplinary options
• how to support a friend or colleague
• prevention and intervention strategies
• healthy sexual and romantic relationships

We also provide services to people who are concerned they may be hurting others.  We offer:

• hotline consultations
• individual awareness training on recognizing and respecting other people’s sexual boundaries

The decision for any specific action, both immediate and long term, is up to the survivor. All contacts are confidential.
