  • Survivor Advocates are available through the Academy for current students and alumni (especially supportive if you are considering a return to campus that could be potentially traumatic). Support from these advocates can be arranged through the Dean of Student of Well Being, Christina Palmer (cdpalmer(insert “at” symbol)exeter.edu).
  • HAVEN is working with academy students and alumni now. If you are in crisis, or get a message from a student in crisis, the number for HAVEN is 1-603-994-SAFE (7233). A trained advocate will answer 24/7. You can feel confident about referring this number or using this service yourself. If you are an alumni who wants to report your assault for the first time, we recommend to start with  HAVEN. They can help you with further reports to Exeter PD, or the Academy, if this is your wish.
  • Secret Facebook Groups
    There are two secret Facebook Groups that provide confidential support for alumni survivors. One is a support group, led by Susannah Morrison Curtis, which includes alumni survivors of harm both at PEA and beyond. The other is an action group led by Ann Malabre ’81. If you’d like to join one of these, and feel you are ready to interact with other survivor alums about your harm, please email: [email protected] 
  • Private Facebook Group with Alumni for AdvocacyThere is another Facebook group for all alumni interested in advocacy and discussion about sexual misconduct on campus.  Processing PEA is a closed group (posts and members not visible publicly) created in response to news about allegations of sexual misconduct at PEA. PPEA is not a “victims” group, rather it is filled with around 2,000 alumni who want a private space to discuss PEA news.
  • Hidden Waters provides resources and healing circles for survivors, parent os survivors, affected family members, those who harmed, family of those who harmed, and circles for BIPOC, LGBTQ+ in all categories

  • I Have the Right to… The organization started by Alex and Susan Prout, parents of a survivor from St. Paul’s School for middle and high school students, parents, and educators looking for information, support, and avenues of action against sexual assault.
