Helping Someone
Friends and family often want to help but aren’t sure how. These suggestions can be a starting point.
Let the person talk, or not talk, at their own pace. You don’t need to have the right words.
Meals, rides, child care or help with phone calls can ease the load in the days after a crisis.
Avoid pressuring someone to report, talk or make decisions before they are ready.
Supporting someone through trauma is demanding. Reach out for support yourself if you need it.
