On-Campus Confidential Resources
Information shared with the below resources will remain confidential. It will not be shared with the College or anyone else without the express permission of the individual seeking services unless maintaining such confidentiality would harm oneself or others.
When a report involves suspected abuse of a minor under 18, these confidential resources are required by Maryland law and the College’s Child Abuse Reporting Policy to notify child protective services and/or local law enforcement. In these situations, they must also notify the Title IX Coordinator that such a report has been made.
