Encountering the Unthinkable

Know how to help your client and protect yourself if you suspect domestic abuse.

Remember it’s not your field of expertise. Just as you wouldn’t take on a home inspection, don’t assume a counselor role.
Be aware of potential signs of abuse, such as bruises, black eyes, sprained wrists, constant apprehension, or having an extremely apologetic or meek attitude. Having said that, don’t jump to conclusions but ask the person when you’re alone, “Are you OK?” or “Do you need help?”

Meeting basic needs like housing and safety is critical, and healing takes time. Let’s work to end the stigma and support survivors in every step of their journey.
