If someone wants to help a person with depression do this:
- Give them your phone number
- buy them a headset

- see if they have family, family that is still family
- ask about hobbies and give
- see what you can do or others, like buy a months of bus passes
- check out a local Mental Health Association
- find out if they go to church
- ask about education, books, vacations, journals, music
- see if they like to garden and get a few garden boxes/containers
- ask if they are allowed to have a pet if they rent
- be a friend
