IF YOU THINK SOMEONE CLOSE TO YOU IS IN AN

ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP, PSYCHOLOGIST CARMEL

O’BRIENSUGGESTS THE BELOW:

If you believe someone’s safety is at

immediate risk, call Triple 0 and follow

their instructions. Whatever you do, do

not put yourself or your friend at risk.

If you’re worried about someone, ask a

general question when they’re not with their

partner,like,“Howarethingsathome?”Or

oer some support like, “If you ever need

anything, let me know”. Your kindness will

be remembered, and will be an antidote to

the abuse.

If they confide in you, listen to them, and

believe them. Being believed and not judged

is more powerful than you can imagine.

Tell them they are not to blame for the

violence and abuse and see if they need help

getting any information that will assist them.

You can even oer to ring 1800RESPECT

on their behalf, or be there for them if they

decide to seek help this way.
