Sexual Assault Crisis Service

We’re here to help

If you’re a member of the IU community and you have experienced a sexual assault, the Sexual Assault Crisis Service (SACS) team is here to help.

SACS is a special part of CAPS, staffed by counselors who specialize in working with those who have experienced sexual violence. All of our services are free, and include:

  • Crisis consultation
  • Individual and group counseling
  • Assistance with referrals for medical care, including (but not limited to) coordinating an examination by a trained sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE)

If you want to pursue reporting to the IU Bloomington Office of Student Ethics or the Monroe County prosecutor, we can help with that, too.

In emergencies, call 911

Please call 911 if you are in immediate danger. If you are not in immediate danger but need a law enforcement officer, call IU or city police.

  • IU Police Department: 812-855-4111
  • Bloomington Police Department: 812-339-4477

Always remember to trust your instincts.

You can reach the Sexual Assault Crisis Service 24 hours a day at 812-855-8900.
