It’s about showing up for one another every day in meaningful ways.</li></ul><ul><li>Validate, Appreciate, Refer® are three easy-to-use steps that provide a path to listening and responding in a helpful way.</li></ul><ul><li>V-A-R conversations can take many forms — phone, in-person, text message, video call. No matter the format, what matters most is being there and showing that you care.</li></ul>Why V-A-R?<ul><li>A conversation can be life changing. Feeling seen and heard can make all the difference in the world. Feeling supported may be exactly what someone needs.</li></ul><ul><li>It can be challenging, though, to know exactly what to say when someone tells you they are stressed, having a difficult day, or struggling with their mental health.</li></ul><ul><li>V-A-R helps us know what to say in those moments. A conversation that includes the elements of Validate, Appreciate, Refer is one that allows you to actively listen to someone you care about and support them in meaningful ways.</li></ul><ul><li>A conversation with you could make all the difference and prevent a crisis from developing later.</li></ul><ul><li>With V-A-R, Active Minds lets everyone know that someone doesn’t need to be in a crisis to seek help; you don’t have to be an expert to provide help; and help can come in many different forms. Being there for someone in a moment of need is what it’s all about.</li></ul>About the TrainerBecky Fein is an Active Minds Speaker and the Director of Engagement and Training at Active Minds, the nation&#x27;s premier nonprofit organization supporting mental health awareness and education for students and young adults.Becky studied Sociology at UC Davis and earned a master’s degree in Public Health at Columbia University.
