Description

How do you comfort others in a time of need? Do you ever find it difficult to know what to do or say? It’s tough for everyone! However, there are some things that would be ok to say, and other things we should keep to ourselves. Join us while we discover different comfort languages and sort through the best and worst things to do for each.
