Responding to a Disclosure when the Survivor is Not Near You

Updated: Jan 15

“Hello there! I’m here to provide you with a bit of information on the things you can say or do to help a survivor when you receive information (via remote means or telecommunication) that an acquaintance or loved one has just encountered any form of  SGBV or violation.  I would like to remind you that suggestions on this post should not be taken as a one-size-fits-all approach. What the survivor is  undergoing after having confronted a traumatic experience is normal. What you are going through while supporting a survivor is absolutely okay and typical too!  If you need additional resources or just someone to talk to, feel free to reach out to Imaara Foundation"
