Talanoa with Compassion – Rebuilding Wellbeing

Helping someone in distress can be uncomfortable. When we show we care through compassion and kindness, we build a trusting relationship and allow them to safely share their concerns. For someone experiencing emotions like depression and anxiety, it can be scary, lonely and distressing. When we notice signs of depression or anxiety in others, it is important to know what to say and do to better support them.
