Looking after your mates

1 2

We all have our ups and downs, but there are lots of ways you can help when a mate is going through a crisis.

They've lost someone close to them

Your role: You can't force a mate to open up about the loss of someone close to them. The best thing you can do is make them aware that you're happy to help, even if it's just by being yourself.

Their parents have divorced

Your role: Don't force your mate to open up about what's going on at home. If they want to talk, they'll do so in their own time. If things are rough at home, however, they may appreciate more time with you, so create some opportunities to get out and about and see how they respond.
