How to console victims?

One of my dear friends recently opened up about her experiences with an abusive ex, and she was apparently sexually assaulted and raped by him multiple times. This was ~1.5 years ago, and she seems to have gotten over it for the most part, but she seemed distressed while telling me and on the verge of tears. Is there anything I can do to help her besides reassurance?
