How you can hold a conversation about mental health
- Let people know you’re willing to talk about mental health.
- Trust your gut if you think someone’s having a hard time, and speak to them privately. Start with an expression of care, followed by an observation.
- The timing doesn’t have to be perfect. You can circle back.
- If they don’t feel ready to talk about it, just remind them that you’re there for them, and reassure them that it’s okay to talk about it.
- If you suspect the other person might be more comfortable talking with someone else, you can offer to help connect them.
