Supporting Someone

Supporting Someone You Care About 

You can:

• Choose a private, appropriate time to talk.

• Let them know you've noticed they may be struggling.

• Listen without judgment.

• Ask what kind of support they need.

• Encourage them to connect with professional or community support.

• Respect their choices while continuing to let them know you're there.

• Take concerns about immediate safety seriously.

Not sure where to start?

You can contact North Renfrew Family Services if you're concerned about someone and aren't sure what support may be appropriate. We're here to help you explore your options.
