    • Giving unsolicited advice can come across as parental and dismissive.

    Bridging to Resources/Keeping Conversation Open

    • Asking open-ended questions can help individuals feel heard and understood, such as: "How can I be supportive to you?" or "What do you know about ACCESS/SSN?"
    • Showing genuine interest and empathy can help build trust and facilitate open conversation.

    Compassion Fatigue

    • Compassion fatigue is a real phenomenon that can occur when supporting vulnerable individuals.
    • Signs of burnout include anger towards Jamati Members and feeling reluctant to engage with them.
