Guidlinesfor Angels
Guidelines for FOAngels
are really quite simple. Activated Virtual Angels often act as Community Counselors for people who are seriously reaching
out for help with leaving an abusive spouse or preparing to escape. So we use any resource we can to lead them to their best
system of survival. We can serve as victims advocates.
- Listen First
- Use Compassion
- Do Unto
Others, Golden Rule
- Ask the Community for Advice
- Report Any Difficulties
Often those
who seek our assistance can only be reached mentally by medical or psychology professionals. When this becomes obvious
it is our obligation to make referrals to community resources such as the court system, clinics, domestic violence shelters,
or public financial assistance agencies.
We can act
as a first "Friend" responder for victims seeking the best solutions for their personal abusive situations. The FOAngels
community can guide you if you need suggestions. You can become an effective asset online and in your local community.
Sometimes
FOAngels decide to seek higher education that can lead to a professional career as a victims advocate.
