He's stressed but absolutely refuses to get help.

He said he had depression once when he was young and he called the Befrienders at that time, but what they ended up doing is asking him to donate to their church and to join christianity.

And recently he tried to talk to one of my older cousins who is a licensed psychiatrist, but she blamed his stress on his refusal to join their big family events that cost a lot of money (which is completely unrelated).

So now he doesn't believe in professional mental help.

I have called several helpline on behalf of a runaway girl. And i agree they couldnt offer any solid help except lending a pair of ears. I think there is an association called wau or something, gave me a few numbers that allergedly offers free lodging for runaways, but end up all oldnumbers.

I think even lending an ear is good enough. Sometimes we just need a place to vent. What's not cool though is taking that opportunity to recruit someone into a cult or worse, do what my cousin did.
