💜 Quiet Ways to Help a Friend in an Unsafe Situation
Sometimes, someone close to you might be struggling but can’t say it out loud. Here’s how you can quietly support a friend who may be experiencing domestic violence:
💬 LISTEN WITHOUT JUDGMENT. Let your friend open up when the time feels right — your calm presence can mean more than words.
📱 CHECK IN SAFELY. Use gentle messages like “Thinking of you” or “Here if you need me” can bring comfort.
🤝 OFFER RESOURCES, NOT PRESSURE. You can share helpline numbers or community support options privately.
🕊️ RESPECT YOUR FRIEND'S PACE. Leaving an unsafe situation isn’t easy. Your understanding and steady support can make all the difference.
Small acts of kindness can make a big difference. 💜
