i think maybe you could check in sometimes n directly ask how they're feeling about x, how they're doing and stuff. maybe depending on what it is, helping with practical things might also be helpful? not necessarily related to the thing that's bothering them, but like helping them get groceries/cook, maybe doing homework with them, stuff like that that you have to do every day. i usually hear about this when it comes to grieving but i think it could apply to other situations as well... when you're going through a hard time all the mundane life stuff just becomes more difficult to deal with, & even though other people can't help with the real issue they can help with these simple things n that will just make ur burden a little lighter
