Getting the word out

I need some advice - asking for a friend... My friend is an introverted woman with an amazing story to tell and wants to support as many women as possible with her inspiring journey. She does talk for a living, teaches relatively complex issues to VCE (year 11 and 12) students every single day. Holds her own in team meetings, is amazing at encouraging and supporting others. She is not very good with social media - I know crazy that somebody still feels shy even with the relative anonymity of a keyboard and sometimes she still feels tongue tied when trying to get her story out there. How can she do it better? How can she convince others that talking about the fact that everyday women, like her, regardless of social or ethnic background, how much money they have or do not have in the bank, despite how confident they are at work, abuse can happen to anybody and talking about it helps give you your power back. Talking about it can provide encouragement to keep on going and doing the right thing for you. Talking to her you will see that she is a beacon of hope that there is something on the other side of abuse and that is hope, freedom and a life without that constant confusion and fear. Research tells us that family violence is one of the leading causes of death, disability and disease. Do not let yourself become one of those statistics. Start talking. Start reaching out to a trusted friend, or professional. Call a help line, in Australia we have a few choices such as 1800 Respect but there are many others. Contact my friend - ok me. If you had not figured it out it was me who was asking for help. Already you have helped me, just allowing me to get it off my chest I am already more confident!
