HOW TO BE A FIRST IDENTIFIER: What to look for, listen for, and say when we notice that a friend for family member is struggling. Tools for regular people to use in their regular lives. We do not need to be a counselor or a first responder to make a difference in the lives of our friends and family. Our job is to pay attention and make sure the other person feels seen and heard.
