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.

This is for you if you have:
- A desire or need to become a better communicator for someone in your life who is struggling. And/or:
- A passion to help others and turn your own lived experience into purpose & service. And/or:
- A general interest in how to create open & engaged dialogue as the default dynamic in your relationships.

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
