How You Can Help
WIN encourages that if you suspect abuse please do not keep quiet.
Talk to the person in private and let him or her know you are concerned. Point out the things
you've noticed that make you worried. Let the person know you are there when he or she is ready to
talk.
Remember, abusers are skilled at controlling and manipulating their victims. People
who have been emotionally abused or battered are depressed, drained, scared, ashamed and confused. They
need help to get out, yet they have been isolated from their family and friends.
By recognizing the
signs, you can help them escape an abusive situation and begin healing.
