Supporting someone with Clearing?

Our advice for parents, carers and supporters.

Three people sit together on a low concrete wall outdoors in front of a modern glass building. One person in a light outfit sits on the left, another in a white T-shirt and shorts sits on the right, and a third person in a darker top stands slightly behind them with hands resting on their shoulders. Green trees frame the scene, and bright sunlight casts clear shadows.
