Just Ask | Friendship & Mental Health | Ad Council

It can be hard to know how to start a conversation about mental health with a friend, not to mention a little awkward. But it can really make a big difference. And even if the conversation doesn’t go as you may have expected, just keep checking in.
Have you met Awkward Silence? He’s here to show you how an awkward silence can be a good thing: it can be the perfect opportunity to reach out to a friend and ask how they’re feeling. You know your friends best, and you know when something is a bit off. So it doesn’t matter how you ask, it just matters that you do because showing you care can make a real difference.
