rights, responsibilities and respectful relationships

Respect is about valuing people, including people who are different. When you have respect for someone, you feel positive about them and admire or appreciate their actions or behaviour. You can also treat anyone with respect regardless of how you feel about them.

HELP SEEKING STRATEGIES

Learning Intention: We will be able to describe help seeking and other strategies to support our wellbeing

What is empathy?

The word empathy is used a lot, but what does it really mean? Empathy is a concerned response to another person’s feelings. It involves thinking, feeling, and even a physical reaction that our bodies have to other people when we relate to how they feel. To have empathy, we have to notice and understand others’ feelings, but that isn’t enough. We also need to care about and value them.

In other words, empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.

Activity 1

Download and complete your copy of the Supporting Wellbeing Worksheet to:
- - Explore the meaning and importance of empathy
  - Describe active listening
  - Being respectful and considerate of others
  - Find ways to support people in tough times eg at times of grief and loss
  - Understand the Self-Care Wheel
Watch the video on the importance of empathy: The Importance of Empathy

Activity 2

As stated in the video, ACTIVE LISTENING is an important part of being empathetic to your fellow humans.

Activity 3

Continuing in your Supporting Wellbeing Worksheet, brainstorm situations or scenarios that require help-seeking strategies, for example: feeling overwhelmed, ending a relationship, family breakup, grief or loss of someone.
As a class, discuss the responses

Activity 4

Write a TEEL paragraph that explains how you can help your friend by showing empathy and using active listening.

Activity 5

Continuing in your Supporting Wellbeing Worksheet and using the Self-Care Wheel, complete the table to brainstorm additional ways we can support our own wellbeing and that of others.

When we respect our individual differences, we are stronger and healthier as a community.

Respect is having regard for the feelings, wishes and rights of others. Showing respect to someone means acting in a way that takes into consideration their feelings and wellbeing. This can include being courteous, showing empathy and acting with dignity

Respectful behaviour also means having self-respect and only engaging in behaviours that are helpful, useful and have a positive impact.
