How to talk to survivors

Why it's important to know how to talk to survivors

People who are not trained to talk to survivors often say the wrong thing even when they mean well.

Survivors often go through the same psychological trauma and face real threats in both instances.

Self-care: a self-initiated, deliberate act to establish and maintain physical, mental and emotional health.

Even if you are not facing physical violence, the effects of incidents such as online harassment, privacy violations and SMS abuse can cause real harm and take a lot out of you. You may find that you feel lonely, drained or depressed. This is also true for people working with survivors or moderating content.
