We are kicking off SAAM with a series of tips on how to support survivors!

When a survivor is sharing their story with you, it is important that their experience is heard, and their feelings are validated. The first tip for supporting survivors is, listen. Empathetic and active listening is a great way to show someone that you care and are understanding of what they are telling you. Be present and supportive, while validating their experience. Listen and respond without judgment. #SAAM2026
