As members of the Auburn Family, we all pledge to do our best looking out for each other.If you are looking to help a friend with a mental health concern and seek help, A Sound Mind suggests going through the following steps:
-
Look for warning signs that signal someone is in distress.
-
Listen, ask open-ended questions, and find out what is really going on with your friend.
-
Offer hope, encouragement, and support in a non-judgmental way.
-
Connect your friend to professional resources.
-
Even once your friend is getting help, check-in with them to see how things are going and support your friends as they work to maintain good mental health.
