That’s where I’m at with this. Like I said, you don’t need to be a trained professional to listen. Those with problems, especially those who have reached the end, can reach out and say “hey, I think I need some help.”

Okay, let’s get you what you need. Here’s XYZ, their contact info, and other pedigree information.

One thing I’ve learned throughout the years, most people reach out because they know they’re at that point of no return and the simple act of listening is a huge help.

As far as getting people the professional help they need, the hard part is for them to know they need help, and that its ok to get help, and connect them with those resources early enough.
