RESOURCES FOR NON-PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT
You don’t need a degree to show up with love.
So many of the most powerful acts of care come from friends, neighbors, coworkers, and chosen family — the ones who might not have credentials, but absolutely have impact.
This page offers tools and ideas for:
- Supporting someone without overstepping
- Knowing what to say (and what not to)
- Showing up even when you feel awkward or unsure
- Offering comfort without trying to fix
- Understanding your role — and your limits
You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be present.
WANT TO PARTNER WITH SCRIPTED AND BE AN ALLY?
We welcome guides, trainers, doulas, and community builders who create resources for everyday people supporting others through illness, death, and grief.
If you teach compassionate presence, boundary-setting, or grief literacy for non-professionals — we’d love to connect.
