Listen with an open heart: Sometimes, the most important thing you can do is listen. You don’t need to have all the answers, just be present and show that you care by listening deeply.
Reach out and stay connected: A message, a call, or simply checking in regularly can make a huge difference. Let them know you are there for them and that they’re not alone, even in their darkest moments.
Encourage seeking help: Gently suggest reaching out for professional support when they’re ready. Offer to help them find resources or accompany them if needed.
Create a sense of safety: If you’re able, help make their environment safer by removing things that could cause harm. In moments of crisis, feeling physically and emotionally safe can provide some immediate relief.
Reassure them of their worth: Let them know that their feelings are valid, but remind them that there is hope and that things can get better. Reassure them that they are valued, loved, and deserving of help. Sometimes, just knowing that someone cares deeply can spark a small, yet important, shift in their mindset.
