It was Let’s Talk Day on Jan. 25 . The idea of Let’s Talk recognizes that one of the things that keeps us mentally healthy is talking, having someone listening, caring and connecting. But we are not always prepared to engage. We need tools and words to use to support someone who is going through something hard. These are some examples:

Discuss resources and next steps. Support the person in coming up with a plan. They may have been through something like this before and have an idea of what helps them, or this might be the first time they have felt this way. In any case, they may need support locating resources and identifying coping strategies. “Have you ever felt this way before? What was helpful in the past?” “Have you talked to anyone else about this? “Have you reached out to your family doctor?” “Let’s talk about what will help you cope right now.” “Would it be helpful if I came with you to your next appointment?” “I can help you look up mental health supports that might work for you.” If they don’t believe there’s a problem, don’t argue with them about it and don’t suggest possible solutions. You can keep checking in to see how they’re doing or try getting together more often, if that’s what they want.

You can find a whole guide with more ideas here:

The ride home from a sport is simple.

You just have to remember to say six words.

I love to watch you play.

– Inspired by the video “The ride home”

70% of kids quit sports before high school because it just isn’t fun anymore. That’s a staggering number. Have you ever (even though you meant well) focused on the negative things from a game or practice on the ride home from your child’s sport? Focusing on a certain six words instead can make a world of difference.

– Active for Life
