What can you do?

Have you experienced undesirable behavior yourself?

  • Take your feelings seriously and find support from someone you trust.
  • Talk to the person concerned and discuss what is bothering you.
  • If this doesn’t help or doesn’t feel right, contact your manager.
  • If you prefer not to do this for whatever reason, feel free to contact one of the counselors.

Did you see something happen?

  • Discuss what it is you saw with the victim.
  • Ask if they are alright and offer your help.
  • If you didn’t say anything about it when it happened, do so afterward. Discuss it.
  • Are you unsure how best to do this, do you find it difficult, or does the person concerned prefer not to discuss it? Then ask your manager for help.
  • If this is impossible or if would you rather not do this, you can contact one of the counselors.

Who can help you?

Ask support from someone you trust. If it doesn’t feel right to discuss something with your manager, or if it doesn’t help, you can always contact the counselors of UMC Utrecht. Even if you are in doubt. It can keep a situation from getting worse. All conversations between staff members and these helplines are confidential.
