How to Help a Friend Struggling With Mental Health

from BROKE GIRL THERAPY · host BROKE GIRL THERAPY

With a lot happening in both of our lives right now, we’ve realized it’s time to slow down, focus on what’s in front of us, and come back when we have more life to talk about. Don’t worry, this isn’t goodbye. Before we go, we play a round of Retail Therapy, get a little too honest about friendship, dating, validation, and our most unhinged moments, and answer a listener question about how to support a friend going through a mental health diagnosis. Follow us on social media to stay updated on when we’ll be back. We love you guys, and we’ll see you soon.
