Question

1. Imagine that a friend is depressed or has an eating disorder. You want to help using the Three Simple Ways: • Communicate. • Offer help. • Follow through: get help. For each of the Three Simple Ways, describe at least two things you would do for your friend. Be specific and use complete sentences.

Answer 1

Cumminicate:

(1) Ask them to explain to me the best way they can what they are feeling and why? When do they think this started happening?

(2) Do my best to relate to them because they likely feel alone and help them to see that I will not judge and I am here to help.

Offer Help:

(1) Because I am on the outside, I may be able to see things in a different light and offer logical help.

(2) Help them to look for ways to recover. Maybe they need medical/professional help- I would help them to overcome any fears of reaching out for it.

Follow through:

(1) Help them to stay on a steady pace with the changes they are making, encourage them.

(2) maybe, if they want and if I can, I would join them in certain things on their way to recovery.
