RESOURCES FOR SURVIVORS AND THOSE IMPACTED BY VIOLENCE
Below is a complete list of confidential and non-confidential resources on the Texas A&M campus and in the community
Title IX at Texas A&M
Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sexual harassment, sexual violence, and discrimination on the basis of sex.
The Department of Civil Rights and Equity Investigations (CREI) is charged with the investigation and resolution of alleged violations of Texas A&M University civil rights policies, including Title IX.
Texas A&M strongly encourages students to report incidents of sexual assault, sexual exploitation, or sex discrimination — including discrimination of the basis of gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation — in addition to sexual harassment, dating and domestic violence, related retaliation, and stalking.

Health Promotion and Student Life recognize that many people choose not to disclose their abuse for many reasons. Barriers to reporting can include fear of retaliation, feeling at fault or ashamed, inability to access resources, and fear of not being believed. We believe you, and we are here to support you.
Confidential resources are not required to report disclosures of interpersonal violence to law enforcement or the university, unless where required by law (known child abuse or elder abuse, threats of harm to others, or threats of self harm). If you are in immediate danger, please call 911. We then encourage you to subsequently seek trauma-informed safety planning from a confidential resource listed here.
