如何提供帮助

An empathic and educated response to someone who has been 攻击ed can be a vital element in the healing process.

Reinforce that it’s not their fault. 
Survivors often place unnecessary blame on themselves.

做一个好的倾听者. 
找一个安静的地方谈话, and let survivors explain what happened -- at their own pace and in their own words.

Allow survivors some space and comfort. 
Ask how they want to be treated, especially with regard to personal space. This includes where you’re seated during the conversation.

帮助幸存者获得援助. 
Offer to provide phone numbers, information, transportation, etc. Ask survivors if they would like your involvement in subsequent steps and actions. You can contact the Title IX Coordinator if you need ideas on where to find certain resources.

Let survivors naturally regain control of their lives.
Remember this is an essential part of the healing process. Allow the survivor the time and space he or she needs to make their own decisions and support them even if you don’t agree with the decisions they make.

Ask sensitive and open-ended questions rather than ones that could be perceived as victim-blaming.

Reinforce that what took place was real, even if the survivor expresses ambivalence for some reason, s与边界 a prior relationship with the assailant.

照顾好你.
Helping a survivor can be a very emotional experience. Seek advice or counseling for yourself to diffuse some of the stress that you may be feeling.
