For the non-technical?
Unfortunately, still don't think we are there yet, so would either help them directly or refer them to another person who could. Possibly answering questions about tutorials they have attempted or read and struggled with, or more general questions about Bitcoins hard money policy or tech (such a user should understand in full before buying or interacting with).
Leaving them to wrestle with guides and tutorials related to keys, wallets, etc would just put them off (and could be dangerous) - at least based on the resources I have seen.
Its definitely getting better but the "average" non-technical adopters I think would still struggle with resources alone.
If you insisted on a more direct answer, I would be tempted to say Reddit or other "friendly" communities that might offer guidance and answer questions, however I would think twice about this and avoid such an answer as the issue of trust comes into play (and would for guides/resources too). Without knowing who you are speaking to and their incentives, it would be easy for such a new user to get misled or given a biased view (by a maximalist) or worse, robbed/screwed over by rogue agent offering malicious advice or posts.
So the short answer would be higher level background content - such as some of your own posts - that give a detailed, objective, well-balanced view of all pro's and cons - followed by more personal support once they are considering taking the orange pill.
