Try having an open, secure yet exclusive conversation with them. Let them know that they have someone on their side and that they are not alone and there is a way out. Often times the one who suffers the abuse feels embarrassed about everyone knowing, feeling that they will be judged. Communicating with them and showing them support by being their go-to really helps a lot!
