Tell Someone
Tell Someone is a confidential reporting line for anyone with concerns about safety or mental health issues – either your own or someone else’s. This includes concerns about discrimination and harassment. We always encourage anyone with concerns related to specific experiences in the classroom to first direct those concerns to the academic department chair or dean, but Tell Someone is an additional resource.
You can reach the Tell Someone phone line during working hours (or leave a message after hours) at 970-491-1350 or use the online referral form.
