Try some questions from the course

Question 1 of 3

What does a colleague's kindness do?

 

Kindness doesn't replace professional help, but it makes asking for support easier.

Lesson 1, Why it matters, teaches this. See the outline

Question 2 of 3

A colleague gives away their things and says goodbye. What is this?

 

These can be urgent signs. Follow the Lesson 4 steps and get help.

Lesson 2, Noticing, teaches this. See the outline

Question 3 of 3

Which opener is best?

 

An open, caring question without a label gives the person room to answer.

Lesson 3, The check-in conversation, teaches this. See the outline
