How to Offer Support to a Peer Who is Struggling
-
"Hey, I noticed you’ve been [specific observation, e.g., skipping meals, looking stressed]. I’m here for you—do you want to talk about it?"
-
If your friend could use more than just a listening ear, suggest reaching out to campus resources. Say something like:
- "You don’t have to handle this alone. There’s a great [campus resource or office name] that can help with [specific issue].”
- "Would it be okay if I helped you set up a meeting or showed you how to get there?"
-
- Offer to walk them to the office: “How about we go together so I can introduce you to someone who can help?”
- If it’s online, help them send an email: "Let’s send a quick message to [office/person’s name] together, and I’ll stay with you while you write it.”
- Call ahead: “Want me to call [resource name] and see if they can talk to you now?”
-
Supporting someone doesn’t mean solving their problems—it’s about helping them take that first step. With your encouragement, they’ll feel less alone and more confident to seek the support they deserve.
