Education is very important
I also feel like education is very important [when it comes to supporting survivors]. So, the person should be educated to give you a lot more knowledge about it, to tell you about it, because someone that is not educated might not know how serious this is and might not give you the advice you need.
Recommendations

Sign on with a service such as KeepMe.Safe, which connects students with mental health professionals from cultures around the world and promote this service as part of university SV/SA service provision.

Provide long-term support to victims/survivors through university services and/or through referals to external community-based agencies.
