How to help someone experiencing violence

If you see or know someone being violent, you can try to stop them.

Only do this if it’s safe.

You can try to:

• talk to the violent person
• talk to the person being attacked and give them information about support services
• talk to a professional and ask for help, like a nurse or lawyer
• call the police
• ask someone else to help you too.
