Efforts in Helping
Effort 1: Listen More
How many times do you wish that someone would just listen to you? In this first effort, we want to meet the person where they are and listen to what they have to say. What they say is important. However, listen without judgement.
Effort 2 - Basic Needs
If the basic needs are not met, nothing else is going to matter. To obtain some of these basic needs, people need specific documents (ID, birth certificates, social security card, income). We evaluate and determine how to obtain these needs in order of priority.
Effort 3 - Rebuild the Foundation
Encourage and assist in the re-building of the foundation for success! Educate and demonstrate how to obtain information. If there are specific needs, assist and link them to those services.
Effort 4 - Celebrate Even Small Success
Even the smallest successes are a big deal. Celebration encourages people to continue in their journey.
