It is common for us to run into people experiencing a mental health crisis in our neighborhood, at work, on the bus or in our apartment buildings. When we see someone in crisis, we can get activated too and have difficulty knowing how to be helpful. Helping someone in crisis can feel messy and chaotic. That’s ok!
Workshop Feedback :
"I am grounding in the call to offer support that makes someone in crisis feel seen and heard. Grateful for the reminder to refrain from trying to fix without consent or rush towards a solution. It's enough to meet somewhere where they are at, as simple as offering a glass of water, communicating with the needs of the body not the rational mind."
"I worry about overextending myself. This workshop helped me realize that isn't necessary."
Healing is relational - people in crisis need to be seen, heard, affirmed, encouraged.
