Dear Students, Faculty, & 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 Or what if a co-worker or fellow student became repeatedly frustrated, withdrawn, or expressed desperation?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 the 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 SafeCampus telephone numbers are available 24 hours/day, 7 days/week: Seattle: 206-685-SAFE (7233) Bothell: 425-352-SAFE (7233) Tacoma: 253-692-SAFE (7233)

Preventing violence is everyone’s responsibility.
Be well,
Dave Girts Violence Prevention & Response Program Manager
