Ask. Listen. Connect. - spread the word!

We Ask, Listen and Connect in our daily lives to check in with ourselves and each other. This means:

  • Ask people how they are doing. 
  • Listen actively and pay attention to what they may need or are asking for.
  • Connect with another person like a trusted adult if you need to or sometimes if we're worried about someone’s well being or safety, we'll need to connect them to resources including a trusted adult and/or counselor at school.

Print or download these Ask, Listen, Connect posters to spread the word.
