Listening Awareness Month

Listening Awareness Month happens in March! Listening to others is important for communication, whether that is spoken or nonverbal. Everyone can be a good listener and communicator. However, hearing what others are saying can sometimes be difficult. In order to improve your listening skills, you need to be conscious of your relationships and how you communicate with others.

What you can do:

• Practice listening to others. Be truly present to who you are speaking to

• Speak up! You don’t always have to be the listener when communicating this month. Spend the time to open up and talk to others. Healing happens when you engage and reach out.
