Supporting a friend with a mental health problem

We know opening up to mental health is not always easy, but doing small things can make a big difference for a friend who is stuggling with life.

Find out what you should know about:

  • I haven’t heard from them in ages
  • Their appearance has changed / they’re not looking after themselves
  • They are using social media differently
  • They might be self-harming
  • They seem distracted or absent
  • They’re saying unsettling things
  • They’ve mentioned taking their own life
  • They’ve told me they’re not doing well
