- We are here to listen, not to work miracles.
- We are here to help victims discover what they are feeling, not to make the feelings go away.
- We are here to help victims identify their options, not decide for them what they should do.
- We are here to discuss steps with a victim, not to take the steps for them.
- We are here to help victims discover their own strength, not to rescue them and leave them still vulnerable.
- We are here to help victims discover they can help themselves and their children, not to take responsibility for them and their children.
- We are here to help victims learn to choose, not to keep them from making difficult choices.
- We are here to provide support for change.
