Are you looking to support someone?
It can be hard seeing someone you care about experience mental health challenges or struggle with daily life. And it’s natural to be unsure about what you can do to give them support. But there are practical things you can do that will make a difference.
You don't need any special training to show someone you care about them; sometimes, just being there can make all the difference.
