We know that having a close friend and a supportive community can make a world of difference to people dealing with an overwhelming situation. Let’s face it - this is a unique and at times overwhelming lifestyle. Hence, it is crucial that we all watch out for each other. If you have friends turning to you with their problems and you are concerned about their well being please:

• Offer a friendly, listening ear
