Telling Someone What Happened

This Chayn resource explores the deeply personal decision of whether to disclose an experience of abuse or harm, and to whom. It examines the factors that may influence that choice and offers gentle, non-prescriptive support to help survivors navigate the process at their own pace. The guide is written with a trauma-informed, survivor-centred tone, acknowledging that disclosure can be part of healing but may also feel complicated or uncertain. It is best suited to individuals reflecting on their own situation rather than as a procedural tool for organisations.
