Yes! To "give perspective" is commonly used. To "give context" has a similar meaning. When someone gives you additional information about a topic, situation, or someone's point of view, this information creates a better understanding for you. Ex: Just to give you some context, John, Kim left the company yesterday. We're all furious. Ex: Can I give you some perspective? I'd like to see you challenge yourself...
