I’ve recently found that one of the younger members of my big friend group does not have a bank account and is possibly being prevented from having one. She lives with her mother and I have reason to believe things are bad at home. She is in her early 20s but behaves much younger and is regularly written off as “a kid” by the group. She is a very trusting and naive young woman.

I fear these things put her at-risk for a variety of reasons.

How can I help her or connect her with help? Are there services that will help her get things like a bank account, I mean even just empower her to be aware of what her rights are as an adult? Like CPS for adults?

The last thing I want is to intervene too heavily and see her kicked out.
