How can I support a friend or family member who is experiencing domestic violence?

Supporting a loved one experiencing domestic violence is crucial. Start by listening without judgment, providing emotional support, and validating their feelings. Encourage them to develop a safety plan and offer to help in any way you can. Share information about domestic violence shelters and resources, but remember that the decision to seek help must come from the individual. Remain patient and respect their choices while continuing to provide support.
