I want to share something

What can you do?

Have you experienced undesirable behavior yourself?

  • Take your feeling or intuition seriously.
  • Talk to the person concerned and discuss what is bothering you.
  • If this doesn’t provide a solution or doesn’t feel good, or if you would like help with how best to handle this, contact your study adviser. The study adviser can help you figure out what you need, what you can do and what help is available.
  • If you prefer not to do this for whatever reason, feel free to contact another helpline. 

Did you see something happen?

  • Discuss what it is you saw with the victim.
  • Ask if they are alright and offer your help.
  • If you didn’t say anything about it when it happened, do so afterward; bring it up for discussion.
  • Are you unsure how best to do this, do you find it difficult, or does the person concerned prefer not to discuss it? Ask a tutor, coach or study adviser for help.
  • If this is not possible, or if you prefer not to do this, you can contact a counselor. 

What can help you?

  • You can use the rules of giving feedback to give and receive feedback.
  • Write down for yourself what happened and what this does to you. If necessary, ask support from a friend, fellow student or lecturer/supervisor.
  • Save any emails, text messages, apps or actual events so that you can give clear examples.

Did you see something happen?

  • Discuss what you have seen in a room where other people cannot overhear.
  • Try to describe objectively and accurately what you saw happen and what it did to you.
  • Listen to how the other person experienced it and dig deeper.
  • Ask help from a study adviser or fellow student if you cannot or are afraid to do this alone.

Who can help you?

Ask support from someone you trust. Such as a fellow student, friend, lecturer or supervisor. It is also important to report what you experienced. That way, we gain insight into what has happened and we can take action where necessary. You can also make your report anonymously. You decide. There are several people you can turn to for this, within both UMC Utrecht and Utrecht University. Are you not sure who to contact? Then always contact your study adviser first. They can help you clarify your needs and help you on your way to getting the right help.
