Talk to Someone

It's okay to feel scared or hurt. Help is there so that you can start to feel better and safe. People around you can help, so it is important to talk to your doctor about your body and to talk to someone about your feelings.
You can talk to:

  • A friend you trust
  • Your family
  • A doctor or nurse or other professional
  • A police officer

You can talk to caring people by phone or in person. Their help is free during the day or at night. They can help you get the support you need.
