Assess your list as the following slides appear as to the type of support you may be able to access from each person on your list.
Having only one or two people to provide support in your life, can be draining for them and you.
It is better to assess the type of support they can give that is a match with their abilities and resources.

Emotional Support

People are emotionally supportive when they tell us they care about us, believe in us and think well of us.

They help us stay true to our goals and give us an opportunity to help as well as be helpful.

They give us honest, constructive feedback, both positive and negative.

List the names of those persons you have identified from your lists of family, friends and contacts at work or school who can be part of your emotional support network.

Choose people with whom you have a sense of warmth and positive connection.
