You may want to ask around for a competent helper before suggesting anyone to your friend. Don't ruin a hard-earned trust by telling the details of your friend's problem to everyone with whom you come in contact. Your friend deserves all the dignity you desire for yourself. Pray for your friend. One thing that Christians can do for their friends is to pray for them.
Prayer changes things, it's true.
Ask a friend to rate you. This may be the most difficult. Write a letter to a friend telling him how much you appreciate a quality he or she has, or tell why you're glad that he or she is your friend. Tell your friend about this session if you want to do so.
