Weekly Checkin- Jan 18

@ASilentObserver

How are you doing? I'm doing good! Looking forward to the week ahead!

What was your highlight in the past week? Taking on some new members in 1:1 chats. Also, I've the opportunity to get to know a few other listeners better! Both experiences were great!

What is your current challenge that you facing? I'm trying to learn ways of handling situations where someone wants to dominate a discussion (or control the focus of attention may be a better way to describe the situation). I'm not yet comfortable with this and so I'm trying to learn so that I'm better equipped if this happens.

@ASilentObserver

How are you doing? - I'm doing great! Looking forward to what's coming this week! :)

Highlight in the Past Week - I've been doing a lot of Listener group chat and member support room chats, also done a few hours of 1-1 chats!

Current challenge I'm facing - Thinking of more effective and different ways to continue a conversation with a group after it goes silent in the chat :)

How are you doing?
Pretty good, I'm excited for the training!

What was your highlight in the past week? (It could be related to your training, group chat rooms, or in general as well)

I've chatted with the same member on three different days this week, I think it's really been helping them.

What is your current challenge that you facing?
At the moment I'm trying to learn how to join into a conversation, for example on the group chat rooms. I joined in on one conversation earlier and I think it went well.

@ASilentObserver

Hey, Obs! Thanks for the resources! I've actually seen the video once before! :o It's really amazing, full of insights.

I think the most important things out of it are:

• Leaders help cool down effect and maintain a safe, therapeutic setting within the group.

• Each leader has their own style of leading.

• Strict adherence to confidentiality regularions builds trust - so a leader should maintain confidentiality within the group, whilst explaining what sort of guidance should be carried along by all members of the group.

Check-in

• How are you doing?

I'm doing great, I have had the chance to do a lot of group work during the past week - I have been active within the Listener Groups and offer Chat Support daily.

• What was your highlight in the past week? (It could be related to your training, group chat rooms, or in general as well)

I have started leading discussions within the Depression Support Room and have learnt how to host effectively this week! Also signed up to host Listener Daily Check-Ins, which is amazing!!

• What is your current challenge that you facing?

One challenge that I'm facing, I believe, is time management. Due to all of my roles, I need to make sure all tasks are completed in a timely manner - I just need to manage my time more effectively, but I'm on the right track!

Thanks for being awesome, Obs <3

🍀 hmm... Finally continued LDP after postponed it for days and got full score like everyone else so I guess that's my small win last week 😋

🍀 balancing life and activities here. In here, trying to find balance between learning and contributing to the teams.

How do you guys do this anyway? 😀

Helló @ASilentObserver! I hope you're okay.

I'm fine, thank you for your question.

I had some really good conversations last week.

I have two members who come back to chat with me and I trust I can give them proper support.

@ASilentObserver

How are you doing?

I'm doing well. Seems like this week is going to be a good one!

Hm, I have been engaging a lot more in the chatrooms which I love. I also have been improving on my peer support chats, and getting to know other listeners.

Getting referrals. I have a few already but I'll get to the required amount one day.

@ASilentObserver

What was your highlight in the past week? (It could be related to your training, group chat rooms, or in general as well) guess it's that i'm a chat supporter now *~*

What is your current challenge that you facing?

all is well in cups tho in real life stressfully waiting for my exam results ^^

How are you doing?

I'm doing very well so far!

What was your highlight in the past week? (It could be related to your training, group chat rooms, or in general as well)

My highlight of the week has been becoming a listener verifier!

What is your current challenge that you facing?

Still working towards those 300 listener group chats (only 50 to go!)

Thanks for sharing the video, it was interesting and I definitely picked up a few ideas on things to consider as a group leader.

How are you doing?

I'm doing well thanks, hope everyone else is having a good week :)

What was your highlight in the past week? (It could be related to your training, group chat rooms, or in general as well)

My highlight was the Positivity and Gratitude support session. These discussions are always great and there were so many interesting ideas.

What is your current challenge that you facing?

I've faced disruptive situations in the group rooms a few times lately, and the challenge for me is to stay patient and try to move the chat on quickly so the rest of the room can get on with what they're doing. I'm learning something new about this each time it happens.
