What is a crisis?
A crisis is a very individual reaction to an event or experience. One person may be extremely affected by an event, while someone else experiencing the same event may experience little or no negative effects.
If a crisis is not dealt with in a healthy way, it can lead to longer lasting mental health issues, as well as social and physical problems.
People may experience crisis as a result of many events. These can include, but are not limited to:
- Relationship breakdown or difficulties
- Loss (of a loved one, job, home)
- Physical health issues
- Caring for another
- Violence and trauma
- Pressures from work or study
- An accident
- A natural disaster
- The onset of mental health issues
We have provided a direct link to a crisis hotline and a crisis chatline in the sub-menu of "Help Me!", if you need to talk please feel free to do so - talking about it helps you and is the first step to confronting it :)
