The Best Ways to Offer Support and Encouragement

Whether it is a friend, family member, or coworker, at some time or another somebody will need support and encouragement. This could be the result of a disappointing change in life, a health change or other similar challenges. 【1】 Even if you do not think that you have the ability to offer the proper support and encouragement，your willingness to be there and to listen may be enough.

Each situation is different，and each would require different levels of both support and encouragement. 【2】 Helping keep up someone's spirits when they are feeling helpless just by letting them know you are there，can make a serious difference in their lives.

【3】 For people in this situation, often a telephone call, or dropping in to say “hello” is more than enough. You may not feel that you are doing much of anything，but to the person who is feeling isolated the effort you take to stop and see them，or call them can make a big difference. For someone who has recently lost a job，you may be able to offer support by helping them network effectively. Or, you may be able to help them craft a new resume，apply for benefits，or a number of other “small” things that may seem insignificant to you， but to them can be a very significant event.

【4】 However，if you let them know that you are there for them，and make it a point to check in with them regularly，they may soon feel more comfortable and share them /span>with you. Take for example a person who is suffering with depression.

【5】 They may not be willing to admit that there is something wrong. However，if you trust your instincts(直觉) and take a little extra care to support and encourage them even in little ways，you can make a huge difference in their overall outlook.

A. You know that there is something wrong.

B. All too often，people feel isolated and do not know where to turn.

C. So you may need support and encouragement to pull through.

D. You may not always understand all of the issues going on in someone's life.

E. In such cases，it is natural for you to reach out and offer your support and encouragement.

F. You know better than anyone the best ways to support and encourage someone who is going through a difficult time.

G. The support you offer could be as simple as helping with simple household tasks, running errands(跑腿儿)，or even being available for telephone calls.
