uSafeUS also offers research and trauma informed information, in the form of both helpful answers and options / next steps, which support victims and their allies in the aftermath of stalking, dating violence or sexual assault. Finally, uSafeUS provides colleges and universities with control of the local resource information students have access to, in the event of an assault, to help ensure incidents are properly handled.

uSafeUS was developed by the University of New Hampshire Prevention Innovations Research Center, which has conducted more than a decade of research into preventing sexual violence and stalking.

PIRC collaborated with a wide range of university and state organizations in the development of uSafeNH, including the STEM Discovery Laboratory at UNH Manchester, the NH Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence, the NH SART Project, the NH Attorney General’s Office, and the NH Violence Against Women Campus Consortium. The NH Attorney General endorses uSafeUS. Connect with uSafeUS at this email: [email protected], or on Twitter or Instagram: @uSafeUS.
