This website training course aims to help you know when and how
to ask, “Are you ok?” to someone you might be concerned about. We hope
that this information will help you have the confidence to begin
conversations with a friend who needs help ... someone who is struggling
with life. We trust that this information will assist students, parents,
community organizations, churches, etc.—and that, by the
end of these lessons, they will be able to:
·
Understand and identify situations where people may not feel “ok”
·
Identify the signs that people may not be “ok”
·
Identify the appropriate times to ask, "Are you ok?"
Today, many
people need real-life help during tough circumstances. Whether you are a
parent or student ... or simply someone who has a friend needing help,
you can be a “lifeguard” for them. As a caring, compassionate relative
or friend, you will be able to communicate with them and perhaps help
save their life! You will spot the danger signs, realize when someone is
in need, and go into action—referring them to a trained counselor or
professional. Become a Lifeguard!
