Following a sexual assault, survivors may need to seek medical care, emotional support, or make a report. @PublicSourcePA has compiled a guide to help survivors (esp students) find/ navigate resources available to them in the PGH region: https://t.co/uYvbsaV89n
Pitt students (& larger PGH university community), please help us continue our @PublicSourcePA Red Zone reporting by sharing what you want to know, or what we need to know, about the campus culture around sexual assault as you see it. Thanks to those who have shared already.
