Support is not about fixing someone instantly. It is about staying kind, steady and realistic while also protecting your own wellbeing.
Helpful steps
- Listen without immediately giving advice.
- Use simple check-ins like "I am here, would talking or quiet company help?"
- Encourage professional support without forcing or shaming.
- Notice safety concerns such as self-harm thoughts, hopelessness or sudden withdrawal.
- Take care of your own sleep, support system and boundaries too.
