those are two different questions.
the first. you cannot help someone who doesn't want help. it's as simple as that. you can be there for them if they change their minds, but you cannot make someone want to get help.
the second. if someone is stalking a celebrity they have legal repurcussions. they can send that person to jail in many cases. of course you cannot make them seek help, but the court can mandate counselling. of course whether that person uses the counselling sessions is up to them.
i'm not sure how you got into the celebrity stalking from those who have been abused, though. tough stretch.
good luck.

First of all, you must be prepare to reach into their needs. It is not an easy task, because by attempting to help others you might infict more harm, "IF" you are not professionally trained.
People that were abused or raped, need to feel that they are worth living, that they will be better, and that their lives will have meaning.
Survival from catastrophic events are difficult for most people. It will not matter if they are black, white or hispanic, rich or poor, professionals or uneducated. The loss of someone or the loss of something meaningful may cause mal-adaptative behavior.
Groups are being created continuously, for reach out and operational support. I believe that the first phase of your task, should be to recopilate data on statistics and diagnostic values.
Then go visit a "reach out community program". And if you have access, interview a few psychiatrists and psychologists on this interesting subject.

Unfortunatley, if someone doesn't want your help, it means they arent willing to change yet or they dont see a problem with whats happeneing. All you can do is be there for them, listen to them. You can't force help on people.
BUT- if you know someone who is being abused you should tell someone who can help. Parents. Police.
The down side to telling someone who can help is that the person needing the help might be upset with you.
Its a decision you have to make on your own.

this is a herd one ,but if someones over 18 they can choose theirselves what they want ,unless a doctor steps in ,and have them commited to hospital agaisnt their wishes ,under that age you have a right to protect ,,if fact you could be breaking the law if you knowing do not help ,
but every case is different ,some can be talked round others you can only look out for them ,,,
as foe sexuall abuse ,its terrible,as these people have had their entire life turned upside down and feel ashamed and also could be mentally disturbed,,they will need protection ,and most of all trust,they can become very withdrawn ,,,it takes time,,they need to be able to believe you and trust you ,and know you are therewhen they need you ,its very hard ,,,but you will need to learn very fast every persons personality,you need to understand them ,to get close enough for them to trust you ,their lives have been violated ,,,,most of all you must becom a friend ,,,and never let them down ,,,you need to read them like a book ,,,but there are many ways to help in general ,like with housing and protection ,,working with the police,,socail services ,and doctors ,,maybe home helps ,and filling out forms ,going to meetings and being surportive in every aspect of their lives ,,,no matter how small a problem it is ,,people who have been through a terrible ordeal could need help with the simplest things as they feel out of controll with their lives and need guidence,to get back on track,,,all the best ,,kat

you are in the wrong page, so excuse my english.
People always want help, but many times they 're hopless and have lost their confidence. So, don't try to impose your ideas; just bring them affection and time for trust in you. Good Lock
