RESOURCES
Here are some strategies for supporting someone with mental health
concerns:
● Encourage the person to seek help and support from an adult.
● Spend time with the person, listen to his/her concerns.
● Be hopeful; help them feel like their life will get better.
● Stand by them. Invite your friend to things that you are doing;
keeping busy
● and staying in touch with friends will help your friend feel better,
when they are ready.
● Learn as much as you can about mental illness so that you
understand what is going on for them.
● If you are a close friend or family member of someone with
a mental health
● problem, make sure that you get help as well. Talk to
someone about what is
● happening. This will help you be a better support person.
● Put the person’s life before your friendship. If the person
mentions thoughts
● of suicide, don’t keep it secret, even if the person has asked
you to.
 Advertisers create their message based on what
they think you will want to see and what they
think will affect you and compel you to buy
their product. Just because they think their
approach will work with people like you don’t
mean it has to work with you as an individual.
 As individuals, we decide how to
experience the media messages we
encounter. We can choose a filter that
helps us understand what the advertiser
wants us to think or believe and then
choose a filter that protects our self-
esteem and body image.
