Is there anything that you can think of that would help you get back on track? Is there anything I can do to help?” “Suzie, I see that you seem sad and it is affecting your work by not meeting your deadlines. From time to time, it is natural for everyone to get down, and many times it helps having someone to talk with.” (Then offer resources and follow up)

Our conversation today, and appointments with the counselor, will be kept confidential and will not affect your job. . .”
