It's not like I'm a therapist or anything. But I'd want to be open for them, and give them somewhere they feel safe - whatever that means for them. For Kumopi, it was being with someone familiar and knowing they're okay, and finding something to laugh about to keep his mind off of the things he saw. But for someone else, it could be having someone they trust that they can talk about those things, get mad or cry, and know they won't be judged for it or left to deal with it all on their own.
So I think just reminding them that they can have those things could help a lot. Even if they don't take advantage of it for whatever reason, it can still be good to know that they're not alone.
