Confidential Help
Confidential help and support are available for students who are not sure they are ready to report to the College. The following are resources that provide a confidential space for students to discuss their options and receive emotional and/or medical support and information about campus and community resources. These members of the community have a legally protected level of confidentiality because of their professions.
(including seeking interim support measures)
In an emergency, first go to a safe place and call 911 if you need medical or police assistance.
If you have been sexually or physically assaulted, consider having medical evidence collected, even if a few days have passed and/or you are not sure you wish to use the evidence.
Collecting evidence in the days following an incident may help if you later decide that you want a legal protection order or if you decide to report the incident to Curry College or legal authorities. Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center is one of several hospitals in the area that are qualified to collect this evidence through the SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) Program. A SANE exam can also provide treatment for injuries, pregnancy prevention, and sexually transmitted infections.
The following other resources may be helpful immediately following an incident:
Learn about how to support a victim-survivor.
Learn about reporting an incident to Curry College.
Curry College encourages anyone who has experienced sexual harassment/assault, intimate partner violence, or stalking to report the incident. The decision to report to law enforcement, Curry College, both, or neither is up to each individual.
Whether or not you are considering reporting an incident, the resources listed below are confidential and have a legal privilege, meaning that they do not generally have to report information you share, even in a court of law. Before beginning a conversation, you can always ask a resource what information they might need to share under what circumstances.
