A. Confidential Resources
 

  1. Victims of sexual misconduct/sexual harassment may pursue assistance and/or support confidentially by contacting a New Hampshire Domestic and Sexual Violence Crisis Center.
     

Confidential support services are available to anyone who has been impacted by sexual misconduct, sexual harassment, domestic violence, dating violence or stalking. Services are open and affirming to all, and an individual need not be in crisis to call.

NCC students have access to the CCSNH Student Assistance Program (SAP) provided by Kepro which includes free confidential Student Counseling Services (SCS). For access, visit NCC’s Student Assistance Program webpage: https://nashuacc.edu/student-assistance-program/

  1. Immediate, confidential help is also available by calling:
  • New Hampshire 24-hour Domestic Violence Helpline: 1-866-644-3574
  • New Hampshire 24-hour Sexual Assault Hotline: 1-800-277-5570
  • National 24-hour Sexual Assault Hotline: 1-800-656-4673
  • National 24-hour Domestic Violence Hotline 1-800-799-7233
    Conversations with crisis center and crisis line volunteers and advisors (who are also confidential resources) are protected under New Hampshire’s confidentiality statute (NH RSA 173-C).
  1. Confidential resources can assist with information and referrals to medical and counseling resources and provide additional assistance as appropriate, such as referral to medical facilities where an individual may request that a medical forensic exam be administered by a trained sexual violence forensic health care provider, including information on transportation options and information on reimbursement of travel costs, if any.
     
  2. The above-listed confidential resources can provide emotional support and information or referrals to on-campus and off-campus resources. They can also accompany a reporting party to meetings with the Title IX Coordinator, investigation interviews, discipline meetings or hearings. Confidential resources are not employees of CCSNH.
