Mates Help Mates

This video series was developed to help guide students in how to start a conversation to help a friend when they are concerned about their drug use and other mental health problems. The videos demonstrate how to approach these conversations and support a friend. The videos also demonstrate how to encourage a friend to seek professional support, and ways to make accessing support easier and less daunting. We encourage students to also make use of national phone services to obtain additional support and advice for themselves or a friend (see Where to get help).
