Responding to a disclosure can feel overwhelming, but simple phrases can show support.
Examples include:
"You’re not alone. I'm here for you."
"There is support available if you want it."
"You’re very brave for telling me."
"Can I help you find someone to talk to, like a support service or counsellor?"
If you’re unsure what to say, focus on kindness and safety. You don’t need to have all the answers.
