Validate? Stay connected?). – • Reflect on differences in support from family, friends, and professionals. – • Identify any gaps in your friend-based support network. ### **Strengthening Friend Support (Protector/Intervention Developer + Supportive Friend)** – • Schedule regular check-ins with trusted friends. – • Share how media exposure affects you and invite friends to do the same. – • Practice asking for specific types of support (e.g., “Can we talk about something that’s been weighing on me?”). – • Offer reciprocal support to strengthen bonds. ### **Managing Cumulative Exposure (Civilian/Vulnerable Individual)** – • Set daily limits on consumption of distressing news or war-related media. – • Use content filters or mute sources that repeatedly expose you to traumatic material. – • Create a routine for taking breaks from digital media. ### **Building Resilience Strategies (Protector/Intervention Developer)** – • Identify activities that help you regulate stress (exercise, journaling, mindfulness). – • Develop a weekly plan that includes mental-health–supportive behaviors. – • Explore online or local community groups to expand supportive connections. ### **Monitoring Symptoms (Researcher Archetype Applied to Self)** – • Check for signs of increased stress: trouble sleeping, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, avoidance. – • Reflect monthly on whether symptoms intensify with media exposure. – • Seek professional support if symptoms persist or worsen.</checklist>
