Re: URGENT HELP

Hiya,

It's good that you're trying to help someone and get them to talk to someone. The best thing to do would maybe be to just let him know all about us and our confidentiality and let him know the different ways he can get in touch and also to let him know that it can help to talk and it's ok to do so but that's really as much as you can do other than be there for him if he needs you. It's good to give someone lots of information about where they can go and he'll do so when he feels ready or wants to. Sometimes people don't feel ready to talk yet. but if he's talking to you about things then make sure and take care of yourself too.
I hope this helps a bit
