When a loved one is in crisis, it's important to offer them support and help them seek the assistance they need. Simply being there for them, listening to them without providing feedback, and letting them know that you're available to help can be very beneficial. Encouraging them to express their feelings and seek help from immediate friends or family members is also important. If mental health support is needed, calling 988 for immediate help is a good step, and there are also free resources available, including counseling services, that can guide them through their crisis. It's true that not everyone can afford therapy, but seeking out these free resources and support networks is a valuable option. Providing understanding and emotional support can make a significant difference in helping your loved one through their crisis.
