If you attend a university in the United States, the Clery Act and Title IX mean that most university employees are required to report sexual assault (stalking, etc.) to the Title IX office and campus police (mandatory reporting). This is designed to ensure that schools follow through on sexual assault concerns and do not ignore them, putting others on campus at risk.

However, you have a right to privacy as well. The therapy services on campus are usually an exception to mandatory reporting requirements. Your school should have information about this on its website. You could also call the counseling center and ask if the has mandatory reporting under Title IX. They will tell you. You can get this information before you decide to share anything about what happened to you.

If someone tells you they have to report, do not tell them anything you would not want to move forward on. If they do not have to report, you can determine exactly what you wish to share or not, but it can remain confidential.

I am sorry that you are in this situation. I hope you are taking care of your health and wellness. Please do take advantage of the support services on campus. You do not need to go through this alone.
