How to talk to someone in emotional distress?

In the past few days, most of us would have come across the word mental health and suicide. Social media is full of messages and posts telling us to talk to people - to those who are depressed, to those who are emotionally distressed.

While everyone is telling us to talk, hardly a few people have told us how to help someone who is emotionally distressed. Through this video, we are trying to share with you some tips, from our personal experience, that can be of help while you are interacting with someone who needs your support in times of emotional distress.

This video is longer compared to our other videos. But a very important component of providing support to anyone is patient listening. And therefore, we request you be patient and listen to the entire video.

We hope that this video helps you in providing a safe space and emotional support to your friends and family in times of distress.
