7 Toxic Things NOT To Say To Abuse Victims

When someone opens up about their trauma or struggles, our response can make all the difference. Sometimes, even with the best intentions, we might say something that unintentionally hurts rather than helps. That’s why we created this video—to raise awareness about the power of our words and how we can support others in a more understanding way.

*Communication is key.* This video is part of our ongoing mission to help people become better listeners, better communicators, and ultimately, better friends to those who need them.

This video was made possible by *BetterHelp*, an affordable online counseling platform. If you'd like to support Psych2Go and explore therapy options, you can check out BetterHelp through this link:
