Grade 9 Sexual Assault: Lesson Three (OVERHEAD: What to do in a Crisis)
What to do in a Crisis
Get medical attention. You can go to any hospital emergency room, where you will get the help you need.
Talk to other people. Don’t pull away from others.
Understand that there are times when everyone is depressed or lonely. Cry or experience feelings. It’s healthy to allow tears, rather than stuffing feelings down inside. It’s not a sign of weakness to cry.
Look at the facts. Ask what is wrong. Is there something that can be done to fix it?
Don’t turn to alcohol or other drugs for help. They won’t make the problem go
