Wondering how to help a friend or family member facing domestic abuse? Start by listening and believing them without judgment. Reassure them it’s not their fault and remind them they’re not alone. Offer a safe space, be patient, and respect their decisions. You can share resources, help with reports, or attend appointments if they wish. Small acts—checking in, keeping records, or offering practical support can make a real difference.

Spotting the signs of domestic abuse is key. Educate yourself to help yourself or others support someone they care about
