    Steps for Providing Emotional Support

    Emotional health is essential to our overall well-being, so it’s important to take care of it. This applies not only to your own emotional health but also to those around you. Simply asking, “How can I help?” can make a difference. Even if they can’t tell you just yet, offering to help shows you care.
