找到支持 for Friends and Family
Find out how you can help survivors that you care about:
- 你可以听. Listening is one of the most important ways you can support a survivor of sexual assault. Some survivors will want to talk right away, and others will need some time. Let the person you care about know that you will be ready when (s)he is. Let them talk and talk while you simply listen.
- 你可以相信. Survivors of sexual assault often worry that they will not be believed. If someone wants to talk with you about something as personal as sexual assault, it means they trust you. Try not to ask questions that sound like you don't believe the story. 事实上, tell the survivor directly, "I believe you" When a survivor feels believed, you have helped the healing.
- You can let them make choices. Sexual assault takes away a person's power and feeling of control. Respecting a survivor's choices helps them get those 感情 back. Making decisions is an important way to feel powerful. You can help get information and understand options, but a survivor needs to make his/her own decisions. You can empower the person you care about by supporting their decisions, even if you may not agree with them.
- You can get informed. Learn more about survivors' common reactions to an assault. If you know more, you can better understand and support the survivor.
- You can take care of yourself. You are an important person in the survivor's life if they chose to tell you about their assault. Take care of yourself and your 感情 so that you will be better able to help them.
