Psychological support

Outside of a clinical setting, psychological support, also called emotional support, is when one person supports another by acknowledging their mental health needs, offering reassurance and listening without making judgments or assumptions.

Who needs psychological support?

The first is when you have thoughts, emotions or behaviors that are out of control, especially when they are affecting your relationships, your work or your sense of well-being. Never feel embarrassed to ask for help at times when you are upset or depressed.
