How to help a friend

Are you concerned about a friend? Friends are usually the first to notice when someone is sad, worried, withdrawn, or irritable. Maybe your friend stopped going to class, or is engaging in unhealthy behaviors. Help your friend heal by expressing your concern and encouraging them to seek help.

  • State your concern. Objectively describe what you observe in your friend, and express your concern.
  • Inquire. Ask your friend what is wrong or how you can help.
  • Listen. Listen without judgment. Try not to agree or disagree with their behavior, simply listen to them.
  • Empathize. Communicate your understanding.
  • Offer them hope. Encourage them to keep talking, and to reach out to others who care about them.
  • Suggest that they visit Counseling Services. Remind them that the first visit is free and confidential.
  • When to be concerned:  Learn the Signs | Seize the Awkward
  • How to start the conversation: Conversation Starters | Seize the Awkward
