Supporting Those Affected by Crisis

Being present and supporting loved ones during crises, like wildfires, is essential to helping both the affected and those offering assistance. Many people underestimate the power of simple gestures such as sending a text to check in, which can provide comfort and reassurance. Sharing experiences helps knit a supportive community, as individuals contribute their 'squares' to a larger quilt of care around those impacted. It's crucial to avoid minimizing what someone is going through, as acknowledging their feelings validates their experience and promotes resilience.
