Victim Impact Nightmares, flashbacks Denial, trying to “get over it” and forget No timeline or formula for recovery, everyone copes in different ways World is shaken and turned upside down 3 times more likely to suffer from depression. 6 times more likely to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. 13 times more likely to abuse alcohol. 26 times more likely to abuse drugs. 4 times more likely to contemplate suicide.

Wounded Life Issues

Sometimes teens don’t recognize actions as abuse Many teens will never tell an adult (if they tell anyone it will be a friend) Fear of rejection and judgment by their friends and peers Fear of retaliation by their partner or hurting their partner’s feelings Gossip among teens

Barriers to getting help Teens may believe that adults will not respect their confidences Losing independence from their parents Fear that people won’t understand, or will blame them Not knowing where to get help or how to leave Embarrassment Underage drinking or drug abuse

How to help a friend Believe Listen Allow your friend to make decisions Let your friend know that you DON'T blame him/her Assure him/her that you care Maintain confidentiality Make a safety plan Offer to go to RVAP with him/her
