We’re coming up on the end of the quarter, and I’d imagine some of us (i.e. – me) are trying to not to think about all of those papers due in just a few short weeks. As a result, I decided to devote this week’s tip to writer’s block.

Students, Faculty and Staff,
What would you do if you thought a friend or colleague was involved in an abusive relationship? What if someone in your workplace or classroom regularly got his way using belligerence and intimidation? Or what if a co-worker or fellow student became repeatedly frustrated, withdraw, or expressed desperation?
Navigating relationships can be challenging, especially when you become concerned about someone’s well-being or perhaps your own safety. We fear saying something might make others feel uncomfortable or make them angry, and reporting a problem might get them, or us, in trouble. No one gets in trouble for calling and asking; in fact, many people get connected to resources they need that help us all maintain a safe personal, work, and learning environment.
If you find yourself wondering if you should do something, it is worth a call to SafeCampus. Calls are answered by staff specially trained to receive such reports and to provide referrals to UW services.
The Safe Campus telephone numbers are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
- Seattle: 206-685-SAFE

- Tacoma: 253-692-SAFE
