How to Support a Survivor of Sexual Violence
When someone discloses that they have experienced sexual violence, your response can have a lasting impact. Survivors may carry fear, shame, or uncertainty about how others will react. By responding with compassion, empathy, and respect, you can help foster healing and restore a sense of safety and trust.
Whether you’re a friend, family member, coworker, or someone the survivor turns to, here are key ways to offer meaningful support.
