When someone you care about is going through divorce or separation, you might feel stuck. You want to help—but you're afraid of saying the wrong thing, taking the wrong side, or making it worse.

In this episode, Kevin from Rebuilders International shares what actually helps, based on what people in our programs say they need most from friends and family. You'll learn why divorce is like an emotional broken leg, why unsolicited advice usually backfires, and how to replace "why" questions with "what" questions that feel supportive instead of judgmental.

You'll also get simple, copy-and-paste check-ins that work better than "How are you?", plus the 7 best things you can do to help someone feel less alone while they heal.

Educational only. Not therapy or legal advice. Learn more at Rebuilders.net.
