• Crisis Counselor, Crisis Text Line, 07/01/23, Present, My role as a crisis counselor is to text people who are dealing with a crisis. I learned fundamental skills such as crisis management, listening skills and collaborative problem solving. Support is the main idea, being there for people who would like to share what is on their mind and putting in great efforts to bring them to a state of stability and safety.
