LIFE SKILLS & VALUE EDUCATION – CLASS-X -UNIT- 6 How Can Someone Who Is Being Abused Get Help?

Someone Who Is Being Abused Can Get Help:

People who are being abused need to get help. Keeping the abuse a secret doesn’t protect anyone from being abused — it only makes it more likely that the abuse will continue and possibly affect more people.

• If you need help right away and are in danger, call 1098. Tell them your name and where you are so they can get you help.

• If you or someone you know is being abused, talk to an adult you or your friend can trust — a family member, a trusted teacher, a doctor, or a school or religious youth counselor. If the first adult you tell does not seem to listen, keep telling adults until someone responds.

• Getting help and support is an important first step. Working with a therapist can help people sort through the complicated feelings and reactions that being abused creates.

• In the end, telling a safe person is the bravest thing you can do. It can feel really good to take steps to stay safe and stop abuse from happening.

If you can’t tell a trusted adult, contact a crisis support group. Sometimes people who are being abused by someone at home need to find a safe place to stay, if needed.
