How to help a friend<\/h2>\n
Are you concerned about a friend?\u00a0Friends are usually the first to notice when someone is sad, worried, withdrawn, or irritable.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.<\/p>\n
\n
State your concern.\u00a0Objectively describe what you observe in your friend, and express your concern.<\/li>\n
Inquire.\u00a0Ask your friend what is wrong or how you can help.<\/li>\n
Listen.\u00a0Listen without judgment. Try not to agree or disagree with their behavior, simply listen to them.<\/li>\n
Empathize.\u00a0Communicate your understanding.<\/li>\n
Offer them hope.\u00a0Encourage them to keep talking, and to reach out to others who care about them.<\/li>\n
Suggest that they visit Counseling Services.<\/li>\n
