How do you make a support system?

Find what works for you! Remember, your support network is yours and no one else's. It doesn't need to fit a cookie-cutter mold.

It's good to have a hype person! You want to find people who encourage you to follow your passions! Take note of those who are honest, empathetic, and who are supportive of your dreams.

It also helps to have people who aren't afraid to tell you things like, "Maybe you shouldn't go to that party. You have an exam tomorrow morning."

Life isn't easy! But supportive relationships will help.

We all have a diverse set of needs. Everyone has their own unique perspective — including you!

Who should be in your support system?

Support doesn't have to be about mental health alone.

Support can be about building a team who helps you reach your goals.
