Violent situation
Witnessing a violent situation or learning that a violent situation has occurred or been repeated can be very disorienting. You should always remember that while you can do lots of thing for a friend or other person affected by violence, it’s not your job to be their saviour. You have your own limits. You can’t take on responsibility for making everything better. You shouldn’t hesitate at all to get support from an adult you trust, either to help you help a friend or help you cope with this situation.
