Resources

If you or someone you know has been affected by relationship violence, stalking, sexual harassment, sexual exploitation, or sexual violence, know that you are not alone. Help is available.

The Know More campaign has created an interactive Relationship Violence & Sexual Misconduct (RVSM) resource poster (PDF). This poster is not a comprehensive representation of all resources available to the MSU community, but it is a starting point to raise awareness of students, faculty, and staff about the RVSM resources available on and around campus.
