Ideas for how to support a friend
Here are suggestions for ways to support someone:
Empathise and listen.
• Try not to offer solutions or convince them that things will get better.
• "I'm here for you. Tell me what's on your mind."
Validate your friend's emotions.
• "You're important to me. It sounds like you're having a hard time."
Ask open-ended questions.
• Try to get them talking about how they're feeling.
• "I'm listening. Please tell me what's going on."
Make sure that they're safe
• "Do you have a plan? Do you have means?"
• If they say yes, do your best to take these items away or get other friends or the emergency services to step in and help.
Connect them to a counsellor, health professional or helpline.
