Free safety lesson
Let support restore choice
You can ask for support without knowing every next step.
One decision at a time
After harm, immediate safety and personal needs may take priority. A support conversation can begin with what would help now, without requiring a full account.
If you are helping someone
Listen without questioning why they did not act differently. Ask what they would find useful. Offer help finding specialist services, while respecting their choices and explaining any obligations you have.
Explore options
Health, practical and specialist support may all be relevant. A local service can explain available pathways without this lesson prescribing one route for everyone.
