What is important is to make sure that you share your feelings with someone that you trust. This can be a friend, a school counsellor, a relative, or a work colleague.

There are many statements and quotes on trust. I personally find that the Ernest Hemingway quote below ‘nails’ the concept of trust to the floor.

“The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.”

Please put on your own oxygen mask first before helping others!

 

Many of us have heard this important statement on a flight. It’s also a useful phrase to remind us about the importance of self-care – if you don’t look after yourself first, you won’t be able to help yourself or others.
