1.talk to a counselor 2. use coping strategies on them 3. reframe their situation.

Explanation:

To support a peer with mental health needs, non - professional peers should focus on empathetic responses and guiding to proper support. The first option is wrong as peers can't treat mental health issues. The third and fourth options have actions (journaling, using coping strategies on them) that are not appropriate for a peer to do. The second option: validating feelings shows empathy, appreciating courage encourages them, and referring to skills/support connects them to proper help, which are appropriate peer - support steps.

Answer:

1. Validate their feelings. 2. Appreciate their courage. 3. Refer them to skills and sup (assuming the full option is about referring to appropriate support resources)
