You don’t have to have all the answers. Just being there matters.
Want to help someone you love or care for?
If someone you know has been sexually assaulted, the most important thing you can offer is your unwavering support and belief.
Listen without judgment let them share at their own pace, and reassure them that what happened is not their fault.
Encourage them to seek professional help – whether through a Sexual Assault Referral Centre like Juniper Lodge, a GP, or a support charity – but never pressure
them to take any action they’re not ready for.
Your calm presence, empathy, and respect for their choices can make a profound difference in their healing journey.
