Supporting Friends and Asking for Help

The student will recognize signs that a friend or the student may need support, respond with care, and connect with a trusted adult or the 988 Lifeline when a situation is serious. · 40 min

Warm-up — say this

“Everyone needs help sometimes. Learning to ask and to support others is a strength.”

Worked example

A friend stops eating lunch with you and seems down for two weeks. What can you say first?

Answer: I've noticed you seem different lately. I care about you. Do you want to talk?

A mistake students make

If I tell an adult, I'm betraying my friend.

How the book fixes it

Explain that getting help for someone who is unsafe is an act of care. The friendship can recover; their safety comes first.

Note to the parent

Make it normal to talk about feelings at home. If the student shows signs of deep or long-lasting sadness or talks of self-harm, take it seriously, contact a doctor or counselor and call or text 988 for guidance.

That is one topic of many. The free questions above check a skill; this is the part that teaches it.
