#Empathy is something that you can learn. It’s a skilll. It’s also something that can help.Before you weigh in, tune in. #MentalHealthWeek #GetReal https://t.co/PaiP5NRfI3

#Empathy. It’s the capacity we share as human beings to step into each other’s shoes. To understand where they’re coming from and what they’re feeling. To listen hard and refuse to judge. It’s also one way to reduce and resolve conflict.

When someone is struggling, they don’t need you to fix it. They need you to understand. Before you weigh in, tune in. #MentalHealthWeek #GetReal https://t.co/PaiP5NzEjt #empathy It’s okay to #sit in the #hurt. #LetsListen

[Teaching Awareness through Puppetry @TAPpuppetsTO]

When we understand each other, hate and fear just fall away. #GetReal this #MentalHealthWeek #Empathy. It’s the capacity we share as human beings to step into each other’s shoes. To understand where they’re coming from and what they’re feeling. To listen hard and refuse to judge.
