SAFE Conversations for Work and Life

Have you ever regretted not connecting with a team member, colleague, or friend because you didn't know what to say, you didn't know if you could help?

This book will change that forever.

We all struggle at times and have mental health difficulties and challenges - such as anxiety, depression, burnout, anger and stress. These create difficult emotions in us.

Good mental health is something we all want, the same as wanting good physical health, because being mentally healthy brings us happiness and well-being.

This book will teach you how to have safe conversations that make a difference in someone's life.

When you have SAFE conversations that are authentic and build trust, you don't need to have the answers or give advice. You can be yourself, and help the other person find their own empowered self.

This book will help you to notice the signs and the symptoms when someone may be struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, anger, and stress.

You will learn how to start a conversation, what to say, what not to say, and then what resources are available to support people in the place that they are at.

Many people do not have the skills to deal with these complex personal situations and will often negatively impact the mental and emotional [or psychosocial] safety of their team members, colleagues or friends.

In 'SAFE Conversations for Work and Life', a manager or team member is not taught to be a doctor or therapist.

You will be taught to notice the signs that a team member, colleague or friend may be struggling, and to engage in a compassionate person-centred conversation to empower the person to seek assistance - either through their Employee Assistance Program or their own Doctor, or other sources of assistance - such as mindfulness, self-care and emotional intelligence.

You will be taught to withhold the blaming, shaming, advice-giving and problem-solving, or trying to put a positive spin on their situation!
