1. Listen to his feelings and validate them.
2. Offer emotional support, such as listening without judgment or offering advice.
3. Remind him that he isn’t alone in feeling the way he does.
4. Help him explore different ways of coping, such as talking to friends, exercising, journaling, meditating, or engaging in creative activities.
5. Encourage him to take care of himself physically and emotionally by eating well, getting enough sleep, and taking time out for self-care.
6. Let him know it's okay to feel sad and angry, but also remind him that these emotions will pass.
