Here for Someone Else

Two chairs, two mugs, shared notebooks, and the title Here for Someone Else.

A curated starting point for people supporting someone else

Useful support creates more access and more control for the person receiving it.

You may be a partner, parent, family member, educator, manager, friend, or advocate. The goal is not to take over the person or monitor them more closely. It is to understand what the situation requires and build support that respects consent, autonomy, communication, and actual capacity.

These resources might be relevant to you if even one of the following sounds familiar.

Supporter Strategy Session

A partner, family member, educator, or manager can bring one support situation and build a more useful approach without diagnosing or controlling the other person.

Bring something like:
  • How do I ask what kind of help is wanted?
  • How can we divide a shared task more clearly?
  • What environmental changes could lower the friction?
  • How do I replace repeated reminders with a visible system?
  • How can I support an upcoming transition without taking it over?
