Scenario 1 of 8
Check in without diagnosing
A change you have noticed
Sarah usually contributes in meetings. Over the past two weeks she has become quieter and missed two deadlines. You do not know why. What is a useful first step?
These fictional situations are practice, not a test of your competence, clinical advice or a legal opinion. The suggested responses depend on context. Follow applicable policy and law, seek qualified advice when needed, and use your established emergency response for an immediate safety concern.
