It is essential to recognise when our behaviour is hurting others.

Whilst seeking support for this can be daunting, support is available; engaging with what has happened is vital to ensure effective change. 

 As a first step, we recommend Requesting Contact from an Advisor (this will connect you to Student Wellbeing Services) in a non-judgmental space.

If there are risk concerns, we cannot guarantee confidentiality for anyone named in the report. 

  If someone has told you that you have hurt them 

  • Listen to them without interrupting.  
  • Take time and space away from them if you need to process what you’ve heard or are feeling angry or upset.  
  • If they need time and space away from you, accept this and do not put any pressure on them.  
  • Take responsibility for the hurt which they have described.  
  • Be led by them about what should happen next – be prepared that one or both of you may want to end your relationship. 
  • Take actions to understand your behaviour, the impacts, and how to navigate future intimate relationships – there are resources here to help you.
