When a loved one is in crisis, it's crucial to offer them support and encourage them to seek the help they need. Simply being there for them, listening to them without providing feedback, and showing empathy can make a significant difference. Encourage them to reach out to immediate friends or family members they feel comfortable with, and remind them that it's okay to share their struggles and ask for help. It's important to remember that not everyone can afford therapy, but there are counselors and free resources available to provide support and guidance. Additionally, seeking help in the form of professional mental health support, such as dialing 988 for assistance, can be critically important. Remember that by offering support and helping your loved one access resources, you can play a vital role in helping them through their crisis.
