If you are a student at IU and you have experienced sexual assault, sexual abuse, dating violence, domestic violence, sexual harassment, sexual exploitation, and/or stalking, the Sexual Assault Crisis Service (SACS) team is here to help.

SACS is a special part of CAPS, staffed by counselors who specialize in working with those who have experienced sexual violence. All of our services are free, and include:

• Crisis consultation
• Individual and group counseling
• Assistance with referrals for medical care, including (but not limited to) coordinating an examination by a trained sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE)

If you want to pursue reporting to the IU Bloomington Office of Student Ethics or the Monroe County prosecutor, we can help with that, too.
