Friends and Family

We recognise that friends and family of survivors may not know how to respond or support their loved one who has experienced sexual violence and domestic abuse.

The first step is always to listen and believe what your loved one is telling you. Ask them how you can help, and never tell them what to do. Remember that it is never the survivor’s fault and they are not to blame for what happened.

We can help you to process and understand what you have been told and encourage you to look after yourself too. Get in contact for more information.
