Sexual Harassment and Assault Resource and Education (S.H.A.R.E.) Center

Director: Carole T. Goldberg, Psy.D.

The Sexual Harassment & Assault Resources & Education Center (the S.H.A.R.E. Center) provides two main functions. There is a dedicated telephone number that accesses the center during office hours and the rape crisis counselor after hours. This way, students have access to a sexual assault counselor 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The counselors is available to talk to the student or meet with the student and help him or her decide how they want to proceed - with medical assistance, counseling, or the decision to press charges and notify the police. If you or a friend needs help, please contact the hotline at 203-432-6653.

The resource center is located at 55 Whitney adjacent to YUHS Health Education Office. The space is currently under renovation, but once it is completed it will be a place where students can drop in to talk about their concerns and experiences, and/or access education materials. It is also a space to organize campus programs, offer discussion groups, and plan educational programs for the campus community. When we move into our new University Health Services building in three years, the resource center will be there.
