Computer use can be monitored by an abuser. If you believe that are on an unsafe computer, please move to a safer computer or call the Newhouse KC hotline

When reaching out and comforting a abuse survivor, be aware of their triggers and make it a safe space. Don't push them to talk about their story but let them come to you when they're ready.

# data[].attributes.body
When someone opens up to you about their story, listen and don't offer advice or solutions. If you actively listen, they will tell you what they need.

# data[].attributes.body
Many victims of abuse try to cover up any signs. Take everything into consideration. This includes black eyes, marks on neck, bruised, sprained wrists, low self-esteem, fearful, substance abuse, anxious, becoming distant, and flinching

# data[].attributes.body
The victim is often more likely to see the dark side of the abuse because they experienced it. Let them know you believe them, it isn't their fault, and they did not deserve this.
