Here are some things you can do to help a friend:
| Believe her. | |
| Be a good listener. | |
| Be supportive. Other people may doubt or blame her. She really needs a friend. | |
| Let the decision about who she talks about it with, be up to her. | |
| If you’re not sure how to best help your friend, get some advice from a rape counselor. | |
| Read a book on surviving rape. | |
| You’re probably going to be the first to be told about the rape. Be there for her. Listen. Support her decisions. Just be there for her. |
