R U OK? Community Workshop

October 10th 2021 is World Mental Health Day. Join Lifeline for our R U OK? Community Workshop in partnership with Community Center Shanghai! We are hosting two sessions on 10th Oct: the morning session runs from 9am to 12pm, and the afternoon session from 1pm to 4pm. Please select your preferable time when you purchase the ticket (Adult 150RMB or Student 50RMB).

This 3-hour R U OK? workshop helps community members like you build the confidence and skills to support someone you are concerned about. This interactive workshop will take you through the 4 steps of having a meaningful conversation and, importantly, how to support someone getting the help they may need.

Learn how to ask "R U OK?", check-in with yourself, listen effectively, encourage someone to come up with an action plan that works for them, and how-to check-in and follow-up so the connection and sense of support between you stays strong.

Participants can expect to receive some valuable guidance on the steps to having a meaningful conversation, as well as some training in suicide ideation that destigmatizes conversations about suicide and informs about signs of risk and why it's important to ask someone you're concerned about how they're doing.

Workshop participants will receive a certificate of completion.
