Ask the woman if she wants assistance at this time |
Thank you for answering. I know it can be hard to discuss this topic. Would you like me to help you with this? |

Offer assistance and choices |
(1) May I share some resources with you?(2) I'd be happy to talk with you about this now, or if you prefer we can make a follow-up appointment.(3) Would you like me to help you make a call to a hotline that helps women in this situation? If you would prefer to speak privately, I can set you up with a phone in a private room.(4) There are several local community resources for women in similar situations; if you would like, I can help you make an appointment, or we can call one of them together. |

Communicate that resources and help are available |
It's okay if you don't want help now. If you change your mind and want assistance or resources in the future, I are here and I am happy to help. You are not alone. |
