Encourage problem solving and positive actions. Talk about the positive alternatives which may establish hope for the future. Although you want to help, do not take full responsibility by trying to be the sole counsel. Seek out resources which can lend qualified help, even if it means breaking a confidence. Unbearable pain can be survived.
