Supporting a friend who’s struggling with their mental health can be tough, but your care and attention can make a big difference. Here are a few ways to show you’re there for them:
🔉 Listen with care
Sometimes, the best thing you can do is listen. Just being there can help them feel heard.
📲 Check in often
Consider reaching out regularly, even if it’s just a simple “How are you?” Let them know you`re thinking of them and that you care.
🚫 Avoid jumping to solutions
Instead of trying to fix everything, offer your support and let them know you’re there to listen. Sometimes, they just need someone to talk to, not someone to provide answers.
💖 Be patient and understanding
It might take time for them to open up, and that’s OK.
📞 Encourage them to seek support
If they seem open to it, gently encourage them to connect with a counsellor or therapist. Let them know it’s OK to ask for help.
🕊️ Respect their need for space
If they need time alone, respect their wishes. Let them know you`re there for them, but also give them the space they might need to recharge
