Emotional journey

How the client might be feeling and what might be going through their mind
  • Thoughts and questions; who are these people? Can they help me? Curiosity. Emotions.

  • What's the point of this? Will there be a place to sit or play that feels comfortable? Anxious. Nervous.

  • Is this just going to be like all the other services? They seem friendly, not too bubbly. What should I say? Heard. Understood. Respected. 

  • Will my parents get in trouble? Will I be separated from my siblings? Anxious. Worried. 

  • Have I shared too much? How are they using this information? Nervous.

  • Have I done something wrong? Should I leave? Uncertain. 

  • These people seem nice and helpful. Maybe everything is going to be alright. Supported.

  • Who's going to take care of me? What will happen to my family after? Worry. Fear. 

  • Wow. Someone cares. Maybe it will be alright. Hopeful. 

What staff can do

Making the experience safe and comfortable
  • Have a calm tone and attitude, but not too cheerful or bubbly. Smile and appear approachable. This helps young people feel safe to share and sets you apart from their past experience of workers. 

  • Explain the system and possible outcomes in plain English as early as possible. This reduces uncertainty and stress, reducing the fear to not speak up. 

  • Explain how information will be used and how you're here to help. This helps them feel supported and safe to share.

  • Be light-hearted and reciprocal in conversation. This helps them see you as a friendly professional that they can trust; they will be more willing to continue engaging when working with someone they respect and feel respected by. 

Check in to see how the service is working for people. This helps people know someone is looking out for them and gives them confidence to continue. It helps you ensure the service is a good fit or it is switched if not.
