Time to Change recently published this advert about how mental health affects those from a survey they carried out.
Like Time to change say you do not need to be an expect in mental health to be a support. By being silent you make things worse - inaction is an action. The five little pictures at the bottom are five little tips about helping those that might need help. They are simple things that may work to help someone even in a small way.
For me the biggest shock was the fact 73% said it was not their responsibility. Being a friend means supporting and helping others no matter what. If it was a physical illness I bet 73% of people would think it was their responsibility to help not to stand by and let that person struggle.
