Support isn’t one-size-fits-all—and it doesn’t stay the same. What helps someone today might look different tomorrow, and that’s completely okay. Being flexible and checking in can make a real difference.

Even small gestures like listening, a quick text, or simply being present can remind someone they’re not alone and help them feel seen and understood.

Whether you’re looking for connection, practical tools, or community, there’s a place for you. Learn more: https://naminj.org/support-and-education/
