My partner is a rape victim. He can encourage him to seek help?

[Anonymous]

He confided in me that he was drugged and assaulted by another male he thought was a friend. He's opened up about a little since the initial discussion but I think he needs more help than I can give him. I want to encourage him to seek help because I think it's having I'll effects on several aspects of his life. I'm just not sure how to approach the subject without him feeling like I don't want to listen to his problem or help him overcome it.

I need him to know that I want to support him and that seeking professional help would be beneficial is so many ways.

Bring it up and say you will get through this together as a team, because nobody messes with his mental health and his self worth. He needs to know he's safe with you and know you won't leave him. It'll be hard to convince him but it'll be worth it.

Offer Options, not ultimatums. Just try to steer him in the right direction.

Just explain to him what kind of support groups, victim services, and professional help is available for him to consider.

Thank you for the MHO. 😊

You must let him come to that realization on his own.
