For Siblings
What can you if you have a
sibling who is facing an unplanned pregnancy?
* LISTEN
- just hear what he/she has to say, he/she may
be scared, he/she may be confused, they will
need support.
*
BE CONFIDENTIAL-
He/She needs to be able to trust you with her
secret. Keep her secret safe. She will need time
to process this news.
*
ENCOURAGE
- This event will be life changing, no matter
the outcome. He/She needs to know that through
it all, they will be okay, and that you will be
there to support however you can. Encourage to
talk to a trusted adult like a teacher or her
parent. It is important that you treat them the
way you would want to be treated if you were in
the same situation.
*
HELP
- Maybe they will want you there when they tell
your parents.
*
REMEMBER
- remember that it is HIS/HER decision to make
and that she will be the one that needs to live
with her decision.
