the best way to help and support someone is to give them a way to help themselves whether this is to teach them how to earn a living or teaching them how to deal with diffcult situations there is nothing as important as enabling someone to help themselves.
It is important to help others and offer them support because it makes you a better person to do it.

It is of the utmost importance to help others that need it. How else are they supposed to learn? Enabling is what most people do "for" others. That just keeps them less than. It is important when helping someone to keep in mind that you are really trying to teach them how to do this on their own. Think it through and it will be "help" not enabling or hinderance.

Enabling a person to help themselves by asking 'what do they need?' rather than 'assuming what they need, and if they really want supporting'.
Humans as individuals & in groups have a right to receive the dignity to be who they are and not judged or condemed for being themselves.
Supporting a person is by way of enabling them to make their own informed choice and US not making theose shoices for them.
So often 'do-gooders' assume they know what is best, either because of their own experiences or by way of feeling they are showing a kindness.
The greatest gift for each other is allowing the person choice and, respecting them to making that choice. If it back fires we are there to hepl pick up the pieces and enable them to view why they made that choice and what they could have done differently

The best way to help and support others is to have time for them, hear them out, and although you may not always be able to relate to their feelings, it is important to identify with them that you hear what they are saying. Clarify their feelings also with comments like, "Ok, so what your saying is....." and give general feedback which gives them the opportunity to clarify their expressions and understand their own feelings in greater depth. So many people who need help emotionally just feel like no one understands how they feel, and don't care enough to ask. By allowing them to elaborate makes them feel that their needs and wants are just as important as anyone elses, and that they matter also.
