For family & friends
You can be the difference she needs.
Whether you're her friend, sister, parent, teacher, or partner, how you respond right now matters more than you know. Here's how to help her feel supported, not judged.
It's easy to react with fear, disappointment, or advice she didn't ask for.
The most powerful thing you can offer is steady, non-judgmental support.
Listen to her, Support her, Be there for her.
