A few Dont’s:
- don’t try to insert yourself into what’s happening or offer advice that isn’t asked for! You could put them at more risk/alienate them from seeking assistance from you later on
-contacting landlords/cops often puts a victim at more risk for retaliatory abuse or losing housing security. Try to contact the victim themselves in a safe way to ask them if they need help OR contact local resources/centers for advice or ideas on how you can safely assist
-being judgemental about why a victim might stay in a situation or being frustrated that they won’t take your advice is minimizing and hurtful. Be patient, be supportive, and know that there’s often much more going on that you cannot see or understand.
