How to support friends?
Join Joseph and Noah as they discuss how they support their friends, sharing the importance of kindness, listening and being there for others to promote positive mental health and wellbeing.
About this resource
In this engaging conversation, Joseph and Noah explore what it means to be a supportive friend and why small acts of kindness can make a big difference to someone's mental health. Drawing on their own experiences, they discuss the importance of listening without judgement, checking in with friends and creating a safe space where people feel comfortable talking about how they're feeling. The session encourages young people to recognise the value of strong friendships and reminds them that supporting others doesn't always require having the right answers—sometimes simply being present and showing you care is enough. Ideal for schools, youth groups and families, this video provides a great starting point for conversations around empathy, friendship, emotional wellbeing and peer support, helping young people build healthier, more supportive relationships.
