- Notice.
- Respond.
- Talk to the person who experiences violence and tell them you are ready to help.
- Declare you are ready to act if the violence escalates.
- Learn how to provide help.
- Look up addresses and contact details of institutions and organisations that help families suffering from domestic violence.
- Give the family members names, addresses, and contact details of institutions and organisations that help families suffering from domestic violence.
- Talk to the abuser. Tell them you hear it and do not accept it.
- Report it to authorities.
REMEMBER: it is better to react ten times only to find out nothing bad was happening than not to respond this one time when someone might be seriously injured or killed!
