When do you think is the best time to make a moment meaningful and ask someone, "are you okay?"

• When they're surrounded by people in a virtual meeting

• When they are in a rush or have lots on

• When they're in a quiet, comfortable relatively private place and appear to have time to chat

• Never. I'll ignore my gut instinct that something is not right

What's important to remember when listening to someone talk about how they are feeling?

• Tell them about your problems and 'that time' when you felt the same

• Jump in when they are getting into the detail, to interrupt and bring them back to positive things

• Let them talk without interruption, ask open questions to help them explain and listen without judgement

• Make eye contact but its okay not to really listen as just being there is enough

What is a good next step you could encourage the person to take to manage their feelings and situation?

• Tell them that it is not bad, that everyone is in the same boat and that they'll feel better soon

• Suggest they talk to someone who can provide further support, like their doctor or someone else they trust

• Suggest that they keep their thoughts to themselves and write them down if that helps but to try to not be a burden on others

• Suggest that they get outside and take up a sport, even if they hate sport
