In The Trenches
A crisis responder's guide to mental health mobile crisis
Frontline Crisis Academy was founded to provide high-quality mobile crisis training to mental health agencies and their crisis teams who are serving people where they are in their darkest moments or times of greatest need.
Called to respond in a time of darkness or chaos
I vow to show up with a strong & poised presence
To build rapport quickly & compassionately
To stay outside a crisis and bring objectivity
To hold space during emotional outpours
To act as a chameleon
To make connections
To advocate for those who cannot
To be skilled in seeing what is not said
To respectfully navigate a scene
& work shoulder to shoulder with my first response partners
Never jumping to conclusions or quick decisions
To know limits; my own & others
To go slow & take time
To sense when behavior is escalating
& be the calm in the storm
To benevolently hold the pain that others feel
To see the honor in being let in
Crisis clinicians do not stand at the top of a dark hole
& reach down to help;
rather, they climb into the darkness
& provide hope that finding good,
finding light, finding peace, IS possible.
I am called to serve
I am proud of the work I do
I am a crisis clinician
I do the hard work
I do the heart work!
