Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

[Megan Elizabeth Selheim <>]

Everyone,

 

I’m looking for some guidance I can provide to our university general counsel on why it is ok for me, in my role as an advocate and maintaining statutorily protected confidentiality, to put survivors in touch with each other at their request. This is connecting in a one on one basis (especially when we have multiple survivors from the same perpetrator), rather than in a support group.

 

Anyone who works at an advocate at a university who is willing to verify that this type of connection is a support that you provide on request, or anything else that I would be able to show to our general counsel, is much appreciated!
