Supporting without loosing yourself

How can I help?

Listen without judgment, show your support, and encourage them to seek professional help. You don’t have to solve the problem on your own.

What should I avoid saying?

Avoid blaming, threatening, or shaming them. Phrases like “just stop doing it” can cause the person to shut down.

Caring and supporting

How can I set boundaries?

Supporting someone does not mean allowing behaviors that hurt you. Set clear boundaries and maintain them with respect.

Supporting someone also means taking care of yourself. You don’t have to do it all alone.

How can I take care of myself?

Supporting someone can be emotionally difficult. Seek support for yourself, maintain your own space, and remember to prioritize your own well-being.
