Welcome to CASA:
The Committee for the Awareness of Sexual Assault
 

CASA’s mission is to raise awareness
on the Wentworth campus with the goal of preventing sexual assaults, and to offer resources and support to members of the community who may be dealing with issues of rape or sexual assault. 

CASA works with the Counseling Center, Health Center, and the offices of Wellness Education, Residence Life, and Dean of Students to educate the Wentworth community with important information about sexual assault and rape.  This website has information about what to do after a sexual assault, including healthcare and legal options, common emotional responses, and on and off-campus resources. We also offer strategies for maximizing personal safety. It is our hope that this website will serve as a useful guide both for students who have experienced a sexual assault as well as for friends, family, faculty, staff.  

This site is not meant to replace the advice of health care, counseling or legal professionals. You should not rely on any information on these pages to replace consultations with qualified professionals regarding your own specific situation.
