When a friend or family member isn’t behaving the way they normally do, it’s hard to know what to say or how to help them. Remember that every person is different and will respond in different ways, so what works for one person may not work for another. So it’s important to seek advice and support for yourself as well.
The following links take you to Reach Out, Headspace and Beyond Blue, and provide strategies on how to support a friend or family member with depression.
If you are not sure what to do you can always talk to a trusted adult or a member of the school’s wellbeing team.
