(apóiam as vítimas) se aproximando e oferecendo ajuda/solidariedade/um ombro amigo


Explanation:
É comum (infelizmente) parentes e amigos de vítimas se afastarem delas, às vezes por não saber lidar com a situação. Assim, eu traduziria dessa forma, pois só o fato de se aproximar/não se afastar já é um conforto para a vítima.

estabelecer contacto e dar uma mão / ajuda


Explanation:
"reach out" é tentar estabelecer contacto, ligações, com os outros... "alcançar algo fora de nós" é o sentido literal.
