Reinforce the trust between you and a reporting party when you’re informed of a Title IX incident.

As a faculty or staff member, you are a key person in a student or employee’s experience if they decide to disclose a personal incident of sexual harassment to you. How you react to their disclosure can have a significant influence on how they make sense of what has happened to them and could affect what they decide to do or not do next.
