When a friend is experiencing violence, it is natural to want to help immediately. However, many people feel unsure about what to do. Even if you cannot solve the situation for her, your support can make a real difference.

In our daily lives, we juggle numerous responsibilities. Sometimes, it can be difficult to realize that what you're experiencing is more than just fatigue—it may be emotional overload.
