\n \n\nHow to help a friend Accordion Closed<\/span><\/h4>\n <\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n
\n \n\nHave you ever been worried about a friend’s substance use? You are not alone. And it’s not easy. The following tips can provide some ideas on how to express your concern to someone you care about.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Be sure you are both sober when you talk.<\/li>\n
- Start with “I”. Using an I statement to approach your loved one can help to prevent them from becoming defensive. “I care about your and I am really worried about your drinking.” ” I notice you’ve been drinking more than usual lately. What’s going on?”<\/li>\n
- Gather resources. Before talking with your friend, gather campus and community resources so that you can help direct your friend to those if they are ready- you can find many of these below.<\/li>\n
- Avoid “should”. Try to be non-judgmental and avoid telling them what they should or should not be doing. Don’t say this: “You should just quit drinking.”<\/li>\n
- Focus on health and well-being rather than morality. Keep in mind that good people sometimes make unhealthy decisions.<\/li>\n
- Ask questions. “How do you think your drinking might be affecting your well-being?”<\/li>\n
- Find a private place to discuss your concerns.<\/li>\n
- Let go. Realize that neither you, nor anyone else, can MAKE another person do anything, even if the situation appears dire.<\/li>\n
- Support them. Let them know that you can help them get an appointment with mental health or substance use treatment professionals. But remember you can’t fix them.<\/li>\n
- Consult the professionals. Health Promotion and Counseling Services can help you prepare for these tough conversations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n \n\n
