Sounds great in theory, but you could ask me "how are you" and I could say “I’m good" (as is our natural reflex response) and actually not be fine at all. How are you going to make sure that you get a legitimate response and encourage people to open up about their struggles?

I think what we need to consider is not just opening up the conversation, but also how to respond once the conversation is open. often, we don't open the conversation because we don't know how to continue it and how to support the other party when the need arises

I’m not sure how you’re going to develop an effective way of sparking deeper conversations and encouraging people to share their struggles. It might take a bit of trial and error, especially since we don’t tend to be that open about our emotions and struggles in a culture that likes to save face. You can get some inspiration from the R U OK movement in Australia. https://www.ruok.org.au/

I think the framework could include different ways of approaching “how are you” depending on what type of relationship the user has with the person (e.g. you would ask your co-worker differently from your friends and even maybe in a teacher-student setting). Another point to think deeper about is how to elicit a conversation that is open to vulnerability and does not impose judgement. This is hard to achieve simply by asking “how are you”, and may require lead-up conversation prompts as some body language. I bought this up because when I stayed in Canada for awhile, I noticed people were very friendly and would check-in and ask people in their community “how are you”, but it often did not open room to share more deeply personal issues and struggles; rather there was only a friendly banter initiated.

More people to share their experiences and be more open to sharing thoughts

adding in numbers or stakeholders to reach out to for help, as well as suggesting places to engage in leisure or to destress would definitely help!

Framework should be simple (e.g. has acronym, like HRU) yet detailed since too long a framework with varying responses would be hard to remember.

I feel that it would be difficult to impose a certain framework because it would be difficult for us to make genuine connections with others and that it would feel rather 'forced'. I feel like rather than putting the emphasis on the act of asking 'how are you', it would be much better if yall focus on raising the awareness about the need to engage in deep conversations with the people around us. I do believe a huge part of the reason why so many are suffering from mental health issues is due to the lack of genuine and deep conversations with their loved ones so there is really a need to educate the public on how to do so.

Hello, I would say that what you guys are doing is very exciting, and definitely a step in the right direction. However, I would be directly skeptical in how a framework in reaching out to others may be an effective solution. Don't get me wrong - I think this is a very engaging movement and I don't recall seeing something similar that was done to increase help-seeking behaviour. My concern is that stigma and self-stigma are still very prevalent, and this may not reach out to the bigger group of community that I believe you guys hope to target, probably a smaller group that are interested in this topic. Do consider how can this be scaled up to have a more human-centric approach in imparting the framework, and also research more on other evidence-based interventions that may complement to your solutions. For example, should your framework also consider an aspect of their interpersonal skills? All the best! Looking forward to the progress of the project!

I think there could be slight differences in the framework depending on: 1) the relationship the user has to the person and 2) whether it is an online, IRL or even in more professional settings. This might increase the relatability and make it more useful, and this could help to increase the uptake rate and widen the usage of the framework (:

it depends on the level of openness in the society to start conversations with strangers. perhaps, anonymity or something like tinder but no personal information and screening of inappropriate content

I think most people respond to "How are you" rather superficially, and would rather not go into details

Having more empathy, tries to understand or ask them where the triggers come from. Help go guide them into how the triggers happen.

Asking someone 'how are you' as part of a movement seems slightly robotic / superficial to me? maybe a movement that encourages open communication in general?

Framework sounds a bit rigid - not sure how the recipient of the conversations will feel about having a friend engage in a conversation from a framework

Not sure if an introverted one would e comfortable sharing that. How about thru written messages? Like a day of appreciation / checking in

It's a good idea and good way to initiate conversation. I think there should be a system where can give immediate feedback and get help if we sense something is amiss with the person we are speaking to.

Instead of asking how are you, there might be a better phrase to ask people how they really feel. Asking 'how are you' is seen very commonly. Maybe it can be asking ourselves 'how are you' instead? Ask our minds or hearts or body how we really feel:)

Should also include advice on how to react to people's responses to "how are you" instead of just how to ask the question

"How are you" is a greeting that is already extremely common in other (Western) societies and it seems that once it becomes habitual, the replies also become perfunctory and unthinking -- "Good", "Fine". The crux of the problem then becomes that people rarely ever reply honestly to "how are you".Maybe in addition to providing a framwork for asking, a framework/guide to answering these questions can be provided too -- since many may not know how exactly to analyse how they are feeling and put their emotions into words in a society where these conversations rarely happen.

It's easy for people to give a very generic answer or brush it off, the key is whether the person asking 'how are you' can pick up the nuances in the response given, that even if someone says they've been 'good' or 'ok', they can tell that that's not really true, and probe further? I think there's also a certain cultural/social discomfort in probing too far into someone's private life, and perhaps also awkwardness in not being sure how to respond to a difficult answer. Hence the second part of the campaign may want to focus on creating that sense of support and a safe space, that 'whatever it is, I'm here for you, you can tell me anything'.

We should know how to support and encourage a friend if their response is negative. Have more school programs about counselling and therapy lessons

'how are you' is too cliche, it's usually hard for people to answer and only elicit generic response. Maybe specifically we can get people to ask the question in alternative ways such as "How are you holding up?", "Are you doing ok, can I help?" etc

It depends on what is your framework that you intend to share, because it has to be something that can help the recipient open up. and also, to open up means to be vulnerable which means that the person who ask has to be genuine
