Emotional support
Emotional support helps people feel safe, understood, and steadier. It can include calm language, check‑ins, or reassurance.
Definition
Supportive responses help reduce stress and build trust. Emotional support is not about fixing feelings but about making space for them. It works best when consistent and respectful. Practical routines can be paired with emotional support to improve outcomes.
