Do: Offer a safe space to talk and listen
“The first step is providing the space and providing the invitation for the person to explore what’s going on,” said Mark Aoyagi, co-director of sports and performance psychology at the University of Denver.
If the person takes you up on your invitation, ask them how they are doing. You don’t have to shy away from potentially sensitive subjects, Aoyagi said: “A lot of times nobody else in their life has ever invited that conversation, and so sometimes it’s just opening that door for them to have a trusted person that they can communicate with about that.”
