What do you do if you can’t get in touch with someone?
If you think your friend is hurt, or in an emergency call the non-emergency police or 911 depending on the situation. You can ask them to check on the friend and see if they are alright, and this will put your mind at ease.
How can I help someone who doesn’t want to talk?
Force someone to talk to you. It can take time for someone to feel able to talk openly, and putting pressure on them to talk might make them feel less comfortable telling you about their experiences. Force someone to get help (if they’re over 18, and it’s not an emergency situation ).
What do you do when someone you care about can’t reach out?
If you feel that someone you care about is clearly struggling but can’t or won’t reach out for help, and won’t accept any help you offer, it’s understandable to feel frustrated, distressed and powerless. But it’s important to accept that they are an individual, and that there are always limits to what you can do to support another person.
How do you know if someone has been exposed to you?
Let people know they might have been exposed if you spent 15 minutes or more within 6 feet of them within a 24-hour period, or if you shared secretions, as previously mentioned.
How do you deal with people who don’t want to wear masks?
If you don’t want to spend time around people who don’t want to get the vaccine or don’t wear masks in public, tell that person that you really value them in your life and want to spend time with them, but in order to continue doing that you either need them to wear a mask or you’ll only connect with them over Zoom call if they won’t.
