Feel lost in peer conversations? The Diamond Communication Structure gives you a simple, reliable way to support someone in crisis, without making things worse.
Ever wish someone had given you a roadmap for crisis conversations?
Too often, we freeze up when a peer says, “I’m not OK.” We either launch into advice too quickly or fumble through the silence, hoping we’re doing it right. And in peer support, those moments matter.
One wrong move can shut a person down. But the right framework? It can build trust, open up healing, and give someone the safety to talk.
In this episode, I’ll teach you the Diamond Communication Structure, a proven way to guide someone through a hard conversation, especially when they’re sharing something traumatic.
It’s not a script. It’s a shape.
And once you learn it, you’ll never go into another conversation feeling unsure again.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL LEARN:
- How to use closed-ended questions to stabilize the conversation
- When to shift into open-ended questions to invite their story
- How to paraphrase and close the loop without rushing or minimizing
This is one of the most practical communication tools you can learn in peer support. And the best part? You can start using it today.
