(Absurdity check: we're both talking of suicide prevention, right?)
I really don't know how to best answer you - so I recruited some help:
"Catching the early signs of someone struggling—like pulling back from activities or expressing a sense of hopelessness—can be key. It’s about noticing changes and gently encouraging a conversation or professional help."
"Sometimes people just don’t know where to start with getting help. If we can proactively share resources, like info on good therapists or support groups with someone in need, it can be a nudge in the right direction."
Assuming you believe psychology/psychotherapy has scientific merit, that is.
