Taking Care of Yourself and Others

In the wake of tragedies that have impacted our community this year, we thought we’d share some resources that are available to individuals and families. These options are for all of us, whether you personally need these resources or know someone who does. Please, share these options with your friends, family, and community members. Let’s spread the word and start the conversations that help is available.
 
Green Dot Rangers.  Green Dots are Rangers who help participants through situations that have a strong emotional or internal component. Green Dots are, first and foremost, patient listeners who seek to hold space for participants undergoing inner transformation or experiencing internal or emotional distress.
 
There are both local Utah Green Dots as well as Black Rock City Green Dots who are dedicated to this Community. They are standing by to offer support and can connect you with professional help.
   
Outside Resources. If you are feeling like you have an urgent need to speak with someone, or you need help in any way processing grief or loss you can also reach out to Uni Crisis, Valley Mental Health, and American Foundation for Suicide Prevention
 
Local Therapists. There are therapists within our community that are available to listen and help. Green Dot Rangers can give references whenever needed.
 
Online Counseling. If an online counseling service is more your style, that is available as well at BetterHelp.
 
Emergency Room. If nothing else seems like an option at the moment, there is always your nearest emergency room.
 
Please, if you need anything or see a friend in need, reach out. If there are things about yourself you do not like, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. There is no shame is reaching out and asking for help; rather, there is love, acceptance, and support when you do. There are people here to listen, and they want to help.
