Put aside time to hang out together. No need to go anywhere. A familiar, low-pressure environment often allows them to relax more since there are no unknown details to worry about.
Take care of one of their responsibilities instead of them. They’re constantly aware of all that needs to be done and this will give them the feeling that you see them and care enough to help.
Schedule your upcoming week with them so they have the comfort of knowing what to expect and don’t have to keep guessing.
Plan an outing and take them along. Think through all the details so they can relax and enjoy without stress.

Invite their friends over and throw them a surprise party. Make sure to bring balloons, streamers, and loud music, to maximize the excitement.
Take them on a trip with a group of friends. Make it a surprise. Don’t worry about the details, just choose somewhere, and go for it.
