Beyond the Title IX Investigation: What Else Can We Do When a Student Comes to Us?
Growing Your Potential PD
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: This session is designed for faculty, classified professionals, and managers who want to better understand how to actually support someone who discloses a Title IX concern — beyond knowing who to call. Most of us know we're supposed to report. But what happens after that? If you've ever felt uncertain about what to say, what options exist, or whether the process actually helps — you're not alone. The honest answer is: it's complicated. And that's exactly what we need to talk about.
WHAT WE'LL EXPLORE TOGETHER: In this session, participants will:
Understand the range of supportive measures available outside of — and alongside — a formal investigation
, Explore resolution options that can meaningfully support affected parties (academic adjustments, no-contact orders, counseling referrals, records adjustments, and more)
, Discuss the honest reality that investigations create finality, not always resolution — and what that means for how we show up
, Practice language and approaches…
