When someone repeatedly crosses your boundaries or makes you feel unsafe, it can be hard to know what to do next. Whether it’s persistent messages, showing up unexpectedly, or tracking your social media, stalking is never okay—and it’s never your fault.
Reach Out Right Away
If you think you’re being stalked—or if you’re concerned about a friend—the most important step is to reach out for help.
You can contact the University of Utah Department of Public Safety any time, day or night:
- Call 801-585-2677
- Use the SafeU app
- Visit publicsafety.utah.edu
When you reach out, you’ll be connected with officers and Crime Victim Advocates who can help with safety planning, support, and connections to other resources. While Crime Victim Advocates are not confidential resources, they can listen, provide guidance, and help you take the next steps safely.
You Have Options
You’re not limited to one place for support. The University of Utah offers several services to meet different needs:
- University Counseling Center – confidential counseling for students
- Center for Campus Wellness – wellness coaching and advocacy
- Huntsman Mental Health Institute – 24/7 crisis services and therapy support
- SafeU.utah.edu – your hub for reporting options, safety tools, and additional resources
You’re Not Alone
Every member of our campus community deserves to feel safe and supported. If you’re worried about stalking—for yourself or someone else—reach out. We’re here to listen, help you make a plan, and stand with you.
