While I agree wholeheartedly with yesterday’s staff editorial, “Victim advocate will be missed,” it is important to note one correction to its contents.

The BGSU victim advocate provided services to countless students, faculty and staff, and her advocacy changed the lives of many over the last three years.

However, she is not the only such position in Wood County.

It is important for future victims to know that there are still options available following an incidence of sexual assault, stalking, sexual harassment or dating violence.

The Sexual Assault Awareness for Empowerment Program provides free, on-going legal and medical advocacy, as well as emotional support to any citizen of Wood County including university students.

SAAFE advocates may be contacted 24 hours through The Link hotline at (419) 352-1545 or 1 (800) 472-9411.

The Counseling Center provides free mental health services to any University student or faculty member. They can be reached during business hours at (419) 372-2081.

Sexual Assault Information Network is an undergraduate and graduate student-run organization which provides educational programs and information on sexual assault to campus organizations as well as individuals.

To set up a program or receive further information contact Julia Metcalf at (419) 372-0470.

I would also like to take this opportunity to personally thank Rebecca Theis, the victim advocate, for the immense amount of time, energy and dedication she has provided as a constant advocate and counselor to those in need and a friend to all around her. You will be incredibly missed.
