Crises Centre (SKALBES)Psychology Consultant
Nov. 2020 - Jan. 2022Riga, LatviaI provided telephone counselling as a critical support channel for individuals in crisis, offering immediate assistance in areas such as crisis care prevention, grief recovery, and suicide prevention. This service emphasized accessibility and responsiveness, addressing urgent emotional and psychological needs effectively. In grief recovery, my approach focused on guiding individuals through key steps, including acknowledging their loss, processing emotions, accessing appropriate support resources, and fostering resilience to enable gradual progress toward healing. For self-harm and suicide prevention, creating a safe, judgment-free environment for open dialogue was paramount. I established a strong rapport with clients, identified core issues contributing to their distress, and provided tailored coping strategies. By connecting individuals with robust support networks, I helped enhance their ability to manage crises and build pathways to long-term stability and well-being.
