Meeting with an advocate or counselor is confidential. No one needs to know the meeting took place or what was discussed, unless the student survivor decides they would like to disclose that information to others. Additionally, student survivors are not obligated to take any action they don't want to take. Our services are all survivor-led. The survivor advocates and counselors are here to support you.
