Reporting Is a Personal Choice
Launch library · evergreen read
Whether or not to report is entirely a personal choice, and there is no single right answer that applies equally to every person or situation. This is worth asking about directly, without any hesitation at all. This is worth remembering on days when everything else feels uncertain. It remains true regardless of the path someone ultimately chooses to take.
Support services can help explain options without ever pressuring a particular decision, respecting that only you can know what feels right for you personally. This is worth remembering, whatever stage of the process someone is at. It remains available whatever choice ultimately feels right for you. This is a right worth knowing about, whether or not it is used.
1800RESPECT is on 1800 737 732, and Lifeline is on 13 11 14, both available any hour to talk through this choice. Nobody expects you to have all the answers before you call. It is completely okay to take things one small step at a time. You deserve the same care and patience you offer to others.
