Helping a friend with online sexual exploitation and abuse

If your friend is experiencing online sexual abuse, there are certain things you can do as a friend to help. 

• Reach out to them and let them know you are worried and would really love to help them come out of the situation. Don’t push the person. 
• Don’t feel bad if they don’t want to talk about it with you. Give them some time and they will eventually open up. 
• Involve a trusted adult to help your friend.  You can speak to your teacher, parent, relative, or coach to see how they can help your friend.
