What to say to your friend who is realizing they should leave but can't get out

Written By Genevieve Dreizen

These scripts should serve as a guide for tough, trying, and tremendous life moments.

We’re here to support you in supporting your people. We’re proud of you. And we’ve got you.

Here’s what to say when you don’t know what to say.

Thank you for sharing that with me - and please know, everything you tell me is in the vault - your stories are secure with me. I love you and your safety and happiness is my priority. You are not alone. What's the first step we can take together here? What do you need? I can help you start making a plan that prioritizes your safety. I'm happy to Google and see what others have done in this situation. Just know that it seems really overwhelming and scary right now, but it won't always be. We'll navigate this together, as we've always done. Love you lots.

Text these scripts, email them, leave them as a voicemail, or as the basis of a phone call or conversation in person. These scripts can be used over and over and across all platforms. We hope they help. We want to support you so that you can support your people.
