People can be calling out for a whole variety of things. But lots of people call for just support and just to be able to talk to someone and get that you know, unbiased nonjudgmental support that they maybe aren't getting.
Imagine being on the other end of a phone call where someone's life is hanging in the balance. That's the reality Abby Arnold faced as a crisis line worker. In this eye-opening episode of 'Speculum', host Alyssa Zucchet chats with Abby about the crucial role crisis lines play in mental health support.
Crisis lines are often thought of as suicide prevention tools, but Abby explains they serve many purposes, from offering a listening ear to providing immediate support in various situations. Alyssa and Abby dive into what happens when you call a crisis line, the training these workers undergo, and the self-care needed to sustain such emotionally taxing work. Abby's stories and advice are invaluable for anyone wanting to understand how to support those in mental health crises better.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone touched by mental health issues, whether personally or through a loved one.
