保持冷静:你可能会感到震惊或愤怒, 或者想要报复, 但表达这种想法是没有用的.
Believe them: survivors often tell no one because they are afraid no one will believe them or they will be blamed. 关于性侵的虚假报道极为罕见.
Don't blame them: survivors often blame themselves and anticipate being blamed by others. No matter what they did or did not do, it is not their fault. They cannot be responsible for someone else's behavior. 幸存者需要知道他们不应该受到指责.
Listen: allow them to talk but do not push for details. 用不带评判的方式倾听.
耐心点:恢复需要时间. 你可能认为他们现在应该“放下”了, but for many people the effects of an assault will last over their lifetime. You can help find them support to positively cope and heal from the assault.
Allow the survivor to make decisions about what to do. 支持ing their choices helps to re-establish their sense of control.
Encourage follow-up: encourage your friend to get medical attention and other needed services. Make them aware of resources, offer help in accessing services. Actively encourage your friend to seek help and offer to accompany them.
