Dear Teentalker,

Thanks for reaching out.

I can understand how scared your friend is feeling right now. It is a good thing that you are there for her and she can share these things with you. This is the most difficult time for those who are facing abuse at home. Here are a few tips that you can 

•  Help her to create a safety plan for herself.
• Direct her to the digital resources that are available like online therapy sessions.
• Remind her that whatever is happening is not their fault.
• Set some communication guidelines for you both like – decide the frequency of contact to check in on them, set pre-decided code words, if possible have the contact number of a person who is in immediate surroundings of your friend and can update you in case of emergency.
• In case you suspect the situation will get worse, guide her to the nearest police station.
• If you don’t hear from her for a long time, try reaching to her parents or neighbors or other law enforcement agencies if needed.
