The SACE (Sexual Assault Counseling and Education) unit at TCS offers direct access to Urgent Sexual Assault Support Services in order to reduce barriers and expedite treatment options for victims/survivors of sexual assault who have had a recent incident of harm.

Students who have experienced sexual violence (defined below), within the past 30 days are eligible to register for SACE Urgent Sexual Assault Support Services on our registration portal. While the SACE Unit at Tuttleman Counseling Services will support any student whose primary concern is sexual assault, intimate partner violence, stalking, or sexual harassment regardless of the timeframe, SACE Urgent Sexual Assault Support Services registration is intended as a point of entry for the most vulnerable of our students.

Please note:

Only the student requesting services should register (Registration is from 10am-3pm, Monday - Friday).

• Most of our services can only be provided when you are physically located in the state of Pennsylvania.  
• Our staff can assist you in finding a provider in your area if you are out of state.  
• Please remain in the registration portal until all forms are completed. Registration may take 20-30 minutes to complete.

Sexual violence: any non-consensual sexual contact including but not limited to threats, force, intimidation, manipulation, or coercion. This may include unwanted touch, groping, fondling, rape, assault, or any activity in which consent was not or could not be given due to age, intoxication, unconsciousness, or mental capacity.

If you have experienced sexual violence in the past 30 days, please click here for Registration and complete section #4 (Urgent Sexual Assault Support Services).

• Once you complete the online registration paperwork, you will be contacted by phone within one business day by a Sexual Assault Counselor. The counselor will conduct a brief assessment, offer immediate support for urgent needs, and schedule you for an Initial Consultation with a member of the SACE team at TCS to continue discussing options, resources, and support.
• The SACE team at Tuttleman Counseling Services will support you in reviewing options which include, but are not limited to: counseling options, group support, medical examinations, police reports, and filing with Title IX, but staff will never require you to pursue these options.
• Choices about reporting are yours to make. TCS is a confidential source; no details of your experience are shared with anyone unless you share that you are a danger to yourself or others, or you threaten to cause serious and specific harm to another person. Confidentiality may also be limited if you share information about abuse or neglect of a child, elderly person, or disabled individual, or in circumstances where there is a valid court order.

If you have not experienced sexual violence as defined above, please register under our standard Registration process (click here for Registration and select #1 for Temple Main Campus and Ambler students, or #2 if you are a Temple Health Science Campus student).
