Remember the theory of right time, right place. Is one of the parts missing?

Encourage them to talk to people, take advice and if necessary ask for professional help.
-
Encourage them to be realistic, to identify what is the real issue. Can they solve it? Can they draw up an action plan to deal with the problem?
-
Encourage them to put the plan into action.
-
Encourage them to monitor their action plan closely and review it regularly to check that they are still on course.
