SEMPI SOCIAL COMMUNICATION MODEL version 2 6.2.2018
New System takes mental health conversations beyond ‘Are You Ok?'
SEMPI SOCIAL COMMUNICATION MODEL
I have written the 'SEMPI Social Communication Model,' which has been designed to stop the loneliness, isolation, bullying, and stigma associated with mental health and disabilities, and is based on an altruistic, reciprocal, pay it forward philosophy. I believe passionately in equal rights and a world without discrimination. I advocate daily on behalf of people living with a mental health issue and or disability, to ensure that they are included and supported within their work places, and all other areas among our community.
The SEMPI SCM teaches and empowers any person (child or adult) from any social class, how to have a deeper level of conversation, if you ask someone, ‘ARE YOU O.K?’ AND THEY SAY NO. It teaches the skills of communication, so that all parties feel heard, validated, and understood while also leading to a more equal social class power balance. The SEMPI SCM is helping to create a world where people do not simply survive, but engage in a way that works to achieve invigorating internal and interpersonal satisfaction. You can read more about this model at www.sempi.net.
You can also check out the loads and loads of videos about SEMPI on You Tube, under SEMPI Social Communication Model!

ARE YOU OK? I really want to know the answer to this question. I am inviting you to come to a deeper level of active listening with me. If you don't know how to answer 'Are You O.K?' I have an alternative model that I have written to empower communities while assisting them to feel heard, validated and understood. Let's have a real conversation, share the love, pay it forward and reduce stigma all at the same time 😁💜💛💚💙❤
I have worked in MH and disabilities for 30 years and I'm over the pain I see every day getting worse! This is why I have written a brand new stigma reduction model.
This issue needs addressing immediately!. Big ideas mean big risks!
Please check out what I am proposing and join me in this fight!!! Please watch the videos below, so that we can all reduce stigma as we know it.

Hi everyone, for those of you interested in my antistigma work, you can check out my latest interview here with Dr Truett Vaigneur from Manhattan, New York, and his tv show 'Disabilities Redefined with Dr. Vaigneur.' He is a L.E.A.D.S Specialist & Professor at CUNY, member SAG-AFTRA, and an animal lover! @disabilitiesredefined
Dr Vaigneur's show is groundbreaking, and I was so pleased to be speaking as an #Aussie #Psychotherapist about #stigmareduction in #mentalhealth and #disabilities.
His show is filled with amazing people living with MH issues and or a disability, and others who are #advocates and #gamechangers, and they are so inspiring!

New and improved,and still FREE!
Hello, my name is Alyse Price-Tobler. The'SEMPI Social Communication Model' (SSCM) has been
designed to stop loneliness, isolation and stigma within our communities. This is achieved by teaching community members, deeper level empathetic conversation skills, (in under 20 minutes), to instigate when someone is NOT OK and needs to talk straightaway. The immediate implementation of these skills, allows the person to feel heard, validated and understood, which may reduce negative mental health symptoms, including loneliness, isolation, suicide, and stigma.
Social class 'cross over' of participants using this model, is invited, as it is my belief that by mixing up the social status participants, class barriers will come down, as deeper perspectives and empathetic understanding of each other’s lives become more understood. This idea matters because people need personal equality and freedom to thrive. The silence and imbalance of power within our society needs to be stopped, so that we all feel heard, validated and understood, while honoring each other.
The 'SSCM' also gives an immediate snapshot into the participant’s mental and physical health, right at that moment, so that a concise, and accurate plan can be devised if needed.
This model also has a ‘pay it forward philosophy, allowing it to be free, once it gets out into the community. This new model can be used everywhere from schools, to nursing homes, to the corporate sector, basically everywhere!
'ARE YOU O.K?' AND THEY ANSWER, 'NO.'
The ‘SEMPI Social Communication Model’ has been written for ALL community members, from all walks of life! Imagine if people could learn to speak freely and honestly with a strong voice, about why they feel the way they do and what their individual needs are, while also believing that they will be heard when they do this.
The ‘SEMPI Social Communication Model’ (pronounced Sem-pie) has been developed primarily with the purpose of reducing ''the tribal stigma of race, nation, and religion" (Goffman, 1963) within our communities.
The ‘SSCM’ teaches a ‘Listener’ the skills to 'hold space' for a ‘Sharer’, (in under 20 mins).Mastering these new skills, allows the ‘Listener’ to teach the SSCM to the ‘Sharer’ so that they can take time to gain insight and awareness about themselves, while building personal resilience, improve self-esteem and coping strategies. Going through the 'SSCM' will provide the ‘Sharer’ with time to explore the 5 'SEMPI entry words,' while empowering them to find their own answers once they feel heard, validated and understood. It is hoped that by working through the model, things will calm down for the person, so that they only need to access referral and crisis services if they feel they need more professional support. This also reduces the burden on our overloaded crisis care lines, saving government dollars, to be spent on improving community services elsewhere.
'HOW IS YOUR SEMPI?' is a deeper, more real invitation, asked by one person to another, (between ages three to adult), that covers 5 essential basic human needs (through the acronym SEMPI)
These are 1. SLEEP/SAFETY NEED- the need to rest.
The need to feel safe.
2. EMOTIONAL NEED- the need for love, empathy, and to matter.
3. MEET YOUR BASIC SURVIVAL NEEDS- the need for food, water, clothing and housing.
4. PHYSICAL BODY NEED- the need to feel physically well in our bodies.
5. INCLUSION NEED- The need to be included in your community.
‘HOW IS YOUR SEMPI?’ comes with an in built, genuine offer for the ‘Listener’ to take the time, and empathise with the ‘Sharer’, consequently moving the conversation to a deeper level of care and understanding for each other’s perspectives!
‘HOW IS YOUR SEMPI?’ is a totally unique question that no one is used to hearing, so they cannot equate it to the question ‘ARE YOU O.K?’
Each letter within the acronym 'SEMPI' covers all aspects of daily mental and physical health in an easy to use system. Children from age three can use the specifically designed children’s model, to learn how to speak about and understand themselves. They can also gain personal insight about how their bodies and minds are feeling from an early age, thereby reducing stigma and normalising talk around mental health. Children can speak about anything they choose, be it good or not so good, in their daily ‘SEMPI’ routine. They can share this model with adults, or other children, allowing everyone to reciprocally have a voice and feel heard!

It is very clear to me, that mental illness has become more prevalent and community resources are now at breaking point! Every day, as a practicing Psychotherapist, I see extreme levels of loneliness, low self-esteem and loss of hope. I see class division, segregation, judgmental behaviour, inequality, stigma, and discrimination. I have also designed the ‘SSCM’ as a preventative measure, so that we as a society do not become mentally or emotionally unwell. It is my life’s mission to change this.
The ‘SSCM’ also assists the carers, advocates, and nursing staff who work with the elderly, to have a voice and feel heard. The SSCM is also indicated to be one answer to the current lack of time being given in nursing homes to patients, leading the patients to be being over medicated to keep their behaviours settled, as per the current research “RedUSe: reducing antipsychotic and benzodiazepine prescribing in residential aged care facilities” Juanita L Westbury, Peter Gee, Tristan Ling, Donnamay T Brown, Katherine H Franks, Ivan Bindoff, Aidan Bindoff and Gregory M Peterson Med J Aust || doi:10.5694/mja17.00857 Published online: 14 May 2018
