The Listener.
The one who doesn't even have to speak.
In 5 Seconds...
All you need to do is listen. Thats enough to make a difference to others. Sounds easy enough, right?
In 30 Seconds...
Right then, listen up champs. Supporting the people you care about isn't complicated.
With your Kind. all you have to do is... wait for it... Listen. That's it. You barely need to speak. Just listen.
Having someone to talk to lightens the load, and reduces the stress that builds up inside of all of us, making us feel understood and less alone in whatever we’re going through. The Listener is also the one to reach out and let others know that they are willing to listen with empathy and compassion.
You don't have to be a trained therapist, you don't have to have answers, you don't even have to know the first thing about mental health. But you can make a positive impact on others.
And what’s even better is that we have all the tools, questions and phrases you need - so don't sweat worrying about the right thing to say. We got you fam.
You’re the one to reach out.
As the Listener, you don’t wait for someone struggling to maybe reach out to you. You cut to the chase and you ring them until they pick up. Keep being f*cking awesome.
You make You Listen Up and Listen Good. feel less lonely.
You pay attention, you ask questions and you empathise, because Listening is a skill. You’re the Lionel Messi of listening… or Cristiano Ronaldo… we don’t want to start that argument here.
No Judgement Zone.
Whatever we have to say, we know we can trust you and that you won’t judge us for it. You create the rare space where we can be our true and honest selves.
