I’m worried about someone’s mental health. How can I help them?

If you’re concerned about a friend or relative, there are things you can do to help them.

• Let them know you’re there to listen to them without judgement
• Someone who is experiencing mental health problems may find it hard to reach out, so try to keep in touch. A text message or a phone call could make a big difference
• Help them to get help. Reassure them it’s okay to ask for help and that support is out there
• Take care of yourself. Looking after someone else can be hard, so make sure you consider your wellbeing too
