How To Have Effective Mental Health Conversations 💬

For many years, we’ve worked to challenge the stigma surrounding mental health with messages like “It’s OK to talk” and “It’s OK to not be OK.” But when someone opens up, many of us still wonder, what should I say? How can I help?

In this session, we’ll explore:
💙 How to approach mental health conversations with empathy and confidence
💙 Key listening and communication skills
💙 Practical tools and simple tips to support others
💙 How to create safe and supportive conversations

Whether at work, at home, or in your community, this course will help you feel more prepared to support someone who may be struggling.
