The university developed several materials to help share information about programs that support survivors and educate the community on creating a trauma-informed culture. These assets are free to the MSU community.

PRINTABLE FLYERS

It can be difficult to know what to say or how to react when someone discloses incidents of relationship violence, sexual assault, stalking or sexual harassment. These flyers provide guidance and examples of how you can show you care and connect them with supportive resources. Each flyer can be printed on standard 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper with an available color printer.
