Being a listener is one of the skills that you can use to help someone. You would sit down with them and listen to all their problems without being judgmental. This is a really good skill to use on someone that need help. They will feel much better when you have hear them out. After listening to them you can express sympathy for the victims and express how you think that the tragedy is not their fault. One of the method that you can also use is group talks. People that share the same problems can sit down and share their problems together.

You can ask the victim to give your their input on what they are feelings and how much more time they will need to recover. Recovering takes a long time. Time will heal all wounds. Have the victims express all of their negative feelings to you, from that you can assess how much more help they need. The victims need to be removed from the situation that injured them. If they continue to see their perpetrators, it will be difficult for them to heal. If a father have been abusing his daughter then the daughter need to be removed from the house in order for her to cope better. Seeing the father day after day will not help the problem at all. The victim need to replace her days with more positive experiences. She will slowly come out of the rock that trapped her. The victims will have to learn to let go of her past because holding on will only make thing worse. Letting go is a good exercise for the victims. You can have the victim verbalize to you how far they are in their recovery and if they are feeling any different.
