Everything you need to know about emotional support – condensed into one program

Learn the exact skills to protect and connect with someone when they need you most:

  • Overcome fear of saying "the wrong thing" or freezing up when someone says "I'm not ok".

  • Drop the guilt from missing warning signs or avoiding an awkward conversation.

  • Remove overwhelm of not knowing how to help someone in pain.

  • Avoid the stress of being told "I'm fine" when you know they're not.

  • Find relief in knowing exactly how far to lean in without taking on someone's problem.

In less than a day you can become a better human.

Although this is primarily a mental health training, the teachings will help you become closer and bond more deeply across all relationships in your life – not just during tough times, but in day-to-day interactions.

INTRODUCING

Real Conversations ®

Enrol now

Simply talking to someone about their mental health won't necessarily help. Because like the thousands of people that were just like you until they learned this framework, having a conversation is only truly impactful when you learn how to connect.

That’s called a Real Conversation ®.

This WILL work, even if:

  • You’ve had hundreds of conversations about their emotional wellbeing already
  • You don’t class yourself as someone who even likes talking about emotions
  • You’ve noticed no change in their state-of-mind for a long period of time
  • You don’t see yourself as someone stable enough to be of any help to someone else
