How to Help Your Friend Encourage your friend to talk to an adult Be understanding and supportive Let your friend know they are not alone Spend time with your friend If your friend mentions or talks about not wanting to be around anymore or gives away possessions tell an adult right away Know that there is a limit to what you can do A friend can make a big difference and be supportive, a professional can treat the depression

What Can I say to My Friends? I don’t want anything bad happen to you….. Is everything ok? I’ve noticed you have been….. What can I do to help?

Tattling Vs. Reporting Should I tell? Thoughts…… My friend will be really mad if I tell… Thoughts…… Your friend might be mad for a short while and get over it. If they hurt themselves it would be forever.
