The vast majority of people are committed to looking out for friends. This is true when it comes to general well-being, in situations at work or school, or when going out. Using the buddy system is one way to have each other’s backs. Here is some guidance for creating an effective buddy system.
When going out with friends:
Make a plan
Why checking in matters
Commit to follow-up
If something goes wrong during the night, talk about what happened at a later time and try to make a better plan for future nights.
