Supporting Someone Going Through Abuse
Supporting someone experiencing abuse can feel overwhelming, but knowing how to help can make all the difference. Abuse is isolating, and your care and understanding may be the lifeline they need.
Here at At The Ark, we offer resources to empower you and those in your life to navigate this difficult journey. Our blogs provide insights and guidance on topics like recognising abuse and building resilience. For those seeking inspiration and hope, Broken to Be Beautiful, written by our founder Xenia Schembri, shares a powerful story of survival and healing.
When supporting someone, it's important to ask the right questions, such as:
"How can I support you?"
"Do you feel safe right now?"
"Would you like me to help you find resources or someone to talk to?"
Encourage them to reach out to trusted friends, family, or organisations like At The Ark. Our team is here to provide support, connect them to services, or simply listen.
By learning how to ask thoughtful questions and offering the right tools, you can help someone take the first steps toward healing and safety. Together, we can help create a world where no one suffers in silence.
