Like many things really, everyone is a learner and a teacher's in mental health, the reason for this is because of everyone's different strengths, weaknesses, capabilities, etc, no one can do everything they can do things. Before helping others it is important to try and help yourself and look after your own mental health the best you can before helping others. However' that doesn't stop you from helping others in areas you cannot help in only that you don't but what you do help suggest others to others who can, which not be a certain person as such but say charities, services, website links, etc. Never do anything you cannot do, which may be a risk to the person's safety.
I have only a few posts, you don't need to be a trained professional to ofter to be there for someone in a basic way, just be listening but if you are concerned for the person's safety and you don't feel you cannot help them find someone or somewhere that can.
We must remember not the same things work for everyone. Never tell a person to do and not to do things but suggesting things is fine and it's up to them whether not they go along with it. Even if they don't go along with what you suggest don't amuse they aren't doing anything, they may bring on their own ideas. They do have choices to do what they want to do. Just to say your job is to empower not run their lives.
However' if they are not doing anything at all in the time period your support them etc, I do agree, if you really are not doing anything to help it's not worth giving whatever time period you are allow to give them but look into these things first don't amuse they are. This may depend if they are telling you what are doing or and showing any proof. However' to balance this, please consider that mental health, etc can take a lot out of people or and slow their conference, engry motivation, etc out of a person.
This could mean many things, like hobbies, interests, arts, crafts, careers, improving their diet, drinking less alcohol, cutting down caffeine, exercise, relaxation, etc, which is down to them to do and suggest to do themselves and there could be things that they want to do what I haven't written down. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/stress-anxiety-depression/improve-mental-wellbeing/
