4 Show you care

Your role is to be a warm, supportive presence. Build trust by asking what the person needs. Your words are powerful. What you say and how you say it can signal not only that you care about them, but that you’re also a safe person to reach out to.

Ways to show you care:

“Thanks for taking time to talk with me. I wanted to have this conversation because I care about how you are doing and want you to know I’m here to support you in the ways you need.”

“How can I be helpful?”
