  • Prepare for supportive conversations with colleagues, friends, or family.
  • Think about boundaries and what support is appropriate.
  • Identify when a situation needs specialist or urgent help.

Safety note

  • If there is risk of harm, coercion, abuse, or immediate danger, use appropriate urgent or safeguarding routes rather than website resources.
