A Coast'd reminder

Look after your mates.

Good weekends are not only about where you end up. They are about making sure everyone feels included, gets heard and makes it home.

Start with the small things

The mate code

Small things count.

You do not need the perfect words. You just need to notice, ask and stay.

01

Send the text.

A quick check-in can open a door without making it a big production.

02

Ask twice.

If the automatic ‘yeah’ does not sound right, slow down and ask again.

03

Make room.

Save the seat, include the quieter mate and notice who is getting left behind.

04

Get everyone home.

Share the lift, wait up and make sure nobody disappears from the plan.

05

Check again tomorrow.

The follow-up matters. Send another message when the noise has settled.

If the words feel awkward

Borrow one of ours.

you've been quiet. want a coffee?

no pressure to explain. i'm here.

want me to come by?

text me when you're home.

When it is bigger than the group chat

Bring in proper support.

Being a good mate does not mean carrying everything alone. If someone needs more help, stay with them while you connect with trained support.

Coast'd is not a crisis or counselling service.
