Finding the right harassment resources can be difficult when you are already dealing with stress, uncertainty, or concerns about your job. Some employees want information about reporting workplace sexual harassment. Others need confidential support, help documenting what happened, or resources for related conduct such as stalking, threats, or online harassment.
The following local resource guides can make reliable information easier to find. Each page brings together government complaint agencies, community organizations, crisis services, and other resources serving a particular city and the surrounding area. Although these guides focus primarily on workplace sexual harassment, they also include assistance for related safety and support needs.
This page offers general information only. It is not legal advice, and using these resources does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Choosing the Right Type of Harassment Help
Different resources serve different purposes. A government agency may accept a formal workplace harassment complaint, but it may not provide counseling or immediate safety planning. A community organization may offer emotional support or referrals without investigating an employer. Other services focus specifically on stalking, online harassment, nonconsensual intimate images, sexual violence, or domestic abuse.
Before choosing a resource, it may help to consider what kind of assistance is needed most urgently:
- Information about workplace sexual harassment rights or complaint procedures
- Confidential emotional support or counseling
- Help responding to stalking, threats, or online harassment
- Crisis intervention or assistance with an immediate safety concern
- Referrals to local organizations that provide specialized services
Someone does not need to choose only one form of support. Depending on the circumstances, an employee may contact a community organization while also considering an internal workplace report, a government complaint, or a consultation with a sexual harassment attorney.
