Summary

Across the year, I respond directly to events that increase minority stress, community trauma, or reduce hope. I respond to the things make us feel scared about the world and I try to center and guide people through it. While I do this more informally on social media and through one-on-one conversations, this page is for every major effort where I created an entire website page to help better coordinate resources and information.

While each page is targeted to the specific event, many of them include the same critical resources, suicide prevention information, and centering exercises to help keep people focused, centered, and safe.

Critical Resources

Each point of direct action, also comes with necessary resources for people to find help. I frequently advertise 988/211 for suicide prevention lifeline and general helpline in our state. I also have a few exercises recommended by therapists for people who may find themselves having panic attacks due to how scary the world can be.
