I wasn't advocating for the service. I asked who this service put peoples lives at risk. I condone all that you mentioned. It's obviously a terrible service. However if it kept people alive then the food outweighed the bad.
These comments these people don't understand mental health. Or maybe they do. Who's to say. I contract for mental health charity. Do t even get minimum wage. We aren't fully trained and have 1 phone line.
Yet I've talked down dozens of people in crisis and one on a roof. Service doesn't charge and it's not this corporate bullshit.
Fuck the CEO and the practice. However if it kept one person all be who otherwise would have died. ? In the any case. Fuck y'all.
See you next year
That is obscene; people in crisis deserve so much more. THANK YOU for doing what you do. I hope your goodness to others in need finds its way back to you, multiplied, and that your new year gives you all that you have hoped for it.
It's a charity. Government don't pay shit. They don't care.
I just keep people from killing themselves. Even then I don't really do anything. It's generally very easy because people inherently don't want to die.
They want the suffering to stop. If anything what we do is worse by keeping them alive we solve none of those problems.
Also I don't do much at all. Mostly it's run by volunteers and I just deal with crisis calls and active suicides.
