Counseling Services Bullying, Hate Crimes and Violence Support

Bullying, Hate Crimes and Violence Support

We all assume that bullying is a part of life when we're younger, but bullying doesn't just occur in grades K-12.  It is being reported more and more frequently on college campuses.  Bullying can take many forms in the college setting; hazing, intimidation, and even cyber bullying just to name a few.  Bullying can impact a person's self esteem, self worth and cause devastating emotional effects no matter what the age.  The most serious result being suicide.

With recent stories about intimidation and harrassment on college campuses leading to completed suicides, we know how very important it is for students to seek support and to know where resources are on campus to help them resolve the issue if they are being bullied in some way.  Bullying is unacceptable behavior and is not tolerated on SCSU's campus.

Below is a list of resources you can access if you are being bullied or know of/have witnessed someone else being mistreated.

 

Don't keep it to yourself! Don't be bullied and don't be a bystander!
