Section outline

    • Sometimes people:
      • Don’t want help right now – Respect this and leave the door open.
      • Fear being judged – Stay calm and reassuring.
      • Worry about children or losing housing – These fears are real; connect them to services that understand these challenges.
      What you can say:
      • “I understand this is scary. You’re not alone.”
      • “Whenever you’re ready, I’m here.”
