Addressing Sexual and Relationship Violence on College and University Campuses

Provides a framework for addressing sexual and relationship violence on campuses. The paper reports that because trauma affects the ways in which people approach potentially helpful relationships and the impact of trauma is broad and life-altering, campus services and programs and campus-affiliated events should be trauma-informed and emphasize physical, psychological, and emotional safety for both providers and victims/survivors. These recommendations serve as a guide to building a comprehensive program.
