Davidson First Responders First Responders is a student-run organization at Davidson College. The group provides confidential support and information to survivors of sexual misconduct, including rape and assault. Survivors who contact First Responders talk with trained peer counselors, who provide anything from simply a listening ear, to helping to unravel an unclear situation for the caller (for example, if alcohol was involved), to assistance with the legal and disciplinary steps -- all at the choice of the caller. First Responders is intended to be an informational support network, and student counselors do not compel callers to take legal action. First Responders volunteer for "on duty" shifts, when they carry the hotline cellphone. Davidson College Students are encouraged to call the hotline, or email one of the students below.

***Hand-offs** **should be scheduled ONE day in advance. The person** **currently on shift should try to contact the person coming onto a shift (the opposite situation is fine as well; please act accountably, scheduling the day/time of hand-offs is one of the few duties of being a First Responder). If there are any questions feel free to contact Georgia Ringle, Jessie Barrick, Allen Rigby, or Robert Hagerty.**

** *B **** ecause of the recent Title IX Act, we have to start recording incidents on campus of sexual assault and report them to Ms. Georgia Ringle, and page 8 in the First Responders covers this in more detail. Below are a list of questions you should try to ask a victim: **
 * 1) **How did you become involved (i.e. called, emailed, approached in person)**
 * 2) **The month and year of the incident**
 * 3) **The general location of the incident. If on campus, where specifically on campus?**
 * 4) **The category into which the incident falls (these are listed on pg. 8 of the handbook)**
 * 5) **The advice given to the caller (i.e. contact Georgia, counseling center, hospital)**

Current On-Duty Schedule Every month, members can type in their names for whichever shifts they choose (Jessie will create a table with the shifts). Shift changes may be coordinated via email.
