Supporting other members on this forum really does make a
difference. Here is a great tip taking from "Members Helpling Members":
Draw out the member’s strengths:
Recognize the member for the unique and capable individual that they
are. All human beings want to feel valued and sometimes the people who
need it the most get the least recognition. If you feel that a member is
kind, compassionate, strong, driven, articulate, poetic, or humourous,
etc. tell her/him and let that member know how you see her/him. Many
members may be starving for this sort of recognition and will respond
with increased confidence and possibly become more open to discussion.
That being said, it is important for the acknowledgement to be authentic
and not forced.
Reinforce to the member that they have the strength to achieve
their goals. Empower the member to recognize this strength. Empowerment
means to encourage the member to realize their own potential and their
innate ability to control their own future. Through empowerment we are
assisting members to gain the confidence, skills, resources and
motivation they need in order to take control of their lives. We want
the members to have the strength to follow their own unique values and
live a fulfilled and healthy life.
