I am concerned about a housemate

• There has been a change in behaviour that I am worried about
  If your housemate's personality or normal behaviour has significantly changed recently, try to understand if there has been a significant change in their life. Potentially a change at work, in love or in a friendship could cause a significant change.

• My housemate seems down and I don't know what to do
  • Let them know you care and are there to listen.
  • Accept them as they are, without judging them.
  • Stay in touch with them by messaging, texting, phoning or meeting for coffee. People who are depressed can become isolated
  • Try to be patient.
  • Take care of yourself.
  If the person you're worried about expresses suicidal feelings, you or they should contact a GP or NHS 111.
