How to Show Support to Friends
There are a lot of ways you can support friends struggling with mental health. Checking in and listening without judgement can help your friends feel supported and loved.
Here are some additional things you can do:
1. Continue to educate yourself. Check out these graphics from Mental Health America to get informed, and check out our resources page.
2. Be mindful of the language you use when talking about mental health. Phrases like “you’re crazy” and “act normal” come off as harmful and critical.
DO SAY
• I love you. How can I support you?
• I’m really grateful that you trust me enough to tell me.
• Whenever you’re ready, I’m here to talk.
• What can I do to help?
• I’m here for you.
DON’T SAY
• Your life could be worse!
• You’re fine, just don’t think about it.
• You’re being dramatic.
3. Use social media as a way to help destigmatize talking about mental health! Show your support and reach out to your friends!
