To betray a colleague's confidence?

[fadingfast]

Colleague has recently returned from her second maternity leave and is clearly struggling. We work in quite a pressured, competitive environment. She has confided in me, I think because I have older DC and I'm also not line management. She is concerned about appearing weak or inflexible, but her managers don't seem to have noticed that she is not in a good place mentally. They are not uncaring, just very busy and results-focussed.

WIBU to share my concerns with them? I feel very uncomfortable with betraying my colleague's confidence when I think she regards me as a bit of a safety net. But I am very concerned about her. WWYD?

Don't tell but keep being aware of how she is coping. Maybe down the track you can insist she goes to management if she is still floundering or is going backwards. You come across as like a lovely person who will recognise should your colleague require more than a temporary hand hold.

Encourage her to speak to manager. You could offer to go with her if she arranges a meeting for moral support
