Types of Support

Spirituality

If you are spiritual, reaching out to God or to a pastor, leader, or counselor for guidance or help.

Praise

Giving someone encouraging and specific feedback on their efforts for growth or change. Sending the message "keep trying" when they are feeling overwhelmed or discouraged.

Inquisitiveness

Letting someone know that they are seen, heard, and understood, even if you don't agree with them. This is something that everyone desires and is very validating.
