The King's University is pleased to announce that it has partnered with REES (Respect, Educate, Empower Survivors) to make online reporting available to the campus community.
REES is a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week centralized online reporting and information platform that provides increased options for students, staff, and faculty to report sexual violence.
REES includes multiple reporting options and critical information about resources and supports available both on campus and in the community.
"You are not alone. What I like most about REES is that it provides you with a way to connect to help at your speed - from anonymous reporting to finding supports on or off campus. I also like how telling your story, reporting, helps others." - Dr. Melanie Humphreys, President of The King's University
According to a 2019 Stats Canada Survey on Individual Safety in the Postsecondary Student Population, 71 per cent of postsecondary students witnessed or experienced unwanted sexualized behaviours over the past year, yet less than one in ten spoke about what happened with someone associated with the school.
The King's University is the first post-secondary institution in Alberta to adopt the REES platform and joins the University of Windsor, Mount Allison University, St. Francis Xavier University, Canadian Mennonite University, Red River College, Okanagan College and others in implementing REES.
