I work with vulnerable populations all the time, and as a healthcare professional we oftentimes help too much without knowing it. I think it should be more about empowering them to help themselves. If they're not willing to change themselves it's hard for someone on the outside to do anything.
When you can show to them that change is possible, that they can get themselves out of a bad situation, they're more likely to act.
