Get Support

You are not alone. There are many support services and resources, at St. Lawrence College and beyond, that can help individuals affected by sexual and gender-based violence.

SRRO staff provide a safe space for anyone who has been impacted by sexual violence to learn about available supports, seek accommodations and explore their options. This includes individuals who have experienced sexual violence, received a disclosure, witnessed sexual violence, or who are concerned they may have participated in an incident of SGBV.
