Abstract

Sometimes we may not understand why a victim focuses on a particular thing or issue when we believe there are more pressing matters to address. But being sensitive to all the needs of a victim is paramount if we want to be able to help them move forward to a life without abuse. As we know, a victim’s needs aren’t always black and white, and sometimes they may even appear to be irrational or illogical.
