TAKE OUR ANONYMOUS SURVEY AND HELP US ADVOCATE FOR SURVIVORS ACROSS CALIFORNIA!
Survivors + Allies utilized UCLA's Center for the Study of Women's research study of survivors across all 10 UC campuses to produce short research briefs on important topics they identified in their data. Briefs might highlight unique needs of certain student groups, such as International students, or the importance of certain practices, such as trauma-informed training.

The Importance of Trauma-Informed Training for Mandated Reporters
Mandated reporters, also referred to as “responsible employees,” are professionals employed by a university who are required to report any instances of sexual violence, harassment, assault, and discrimination that occur on campus. This requirement is enforced and regulated by Title IX federal law, which was expanded to protect students from sexual violence, harassment, and discrimination. As mandated reporters, graduate students who work as teaching assistants (TAs), research coordinators, and in supervisor roles should be aware of how to support survivors and provide them with an array of resources available on campus. In addition, faculty and staff should be held to the same standard. It is essential that graduate students, research coordinators, faculty, and staff are trained to be trauma-informed, as they support and work closely with various student populations.

Students of color avoid resources that lack confidentiality due to the similar concerns, but also because of the pattern of institutional betrayal that they experience already
