Friends who can accept my feelings

If I experience the situation [a sexual assault], I can probably talk to friends who can accept my feelings or who are understanding of my mind. Like, not only giving their opinion. If my friends have these characteristics, I can talk about it.

Recommendations

  • Use approaches that are trauma informed and survivor-centred.

  • Present learning materials in a way that is helpful to a friend supporting a victim/survivor.
