Let the harasser know that the conduct is offensive and demand that it stop. Write down his or her responses as soon as possible. Each time, write down the date, day, time, who did it, what he or she did and where it happened. Seek emotional support from family, friends, a crisis center advocate, a therapist or clergy. This can often be the most important, and sometimes most difficult, action you take.
Some people feel depressed or get physically ill as a result of the harassment.
It is important to take care of yourself throughout this process. There is a law in the state of New Hampshire to make getting help safer for you. RSA 173-C states that information transmitted between a victim of a sexual assault or domestic abuse, and a crisis center advocate shall remain confidential. This information is never given out, unless the crisis center has received written permission from you. This means you can disclose any information about your situation and receive help and support without any of the conversation being revealed to a third party.
