On this International Friendship Day, let’s turn our focus on supporting our friends going through a tough time. 🫂
While the question “How can I help?” is no doubt kind and well-meaning, it can feel overwhelming to people who are already struggling.
So instead of asking the person to tell you what they need, listen intently and tackle some brainstorming yourself. Come up with a short list of offers you think would make a difference based on what you’ve heard and observed from them.
What simple tasks could you take off their plate? This could be:
- an offer of transportation
- a trip to the grocery store
- an afternoon of childcare
- or even just some company for a short walk
