Check-In: What does your organization, church, department have in place for the person who has to make a life and death decision, not the policy but the human support?
It was POWERFUL watching perfect strangers have to answer this question to one another when put on the spot.
The person who was responsible for otherâs safety was âon the spotâ when they had to make an irreversible life-altering decision AND they survived it to be here today. Many times their actions SAVE others but go without mention. The INTENTIONAL silence and avoidance of the subject does more harm than good. Youâre not going to victimize someone by talking about it, but you WILL when you ignore it.
Having a âpolicyâ in place is one thing but supporting the person can look different in each case. Youâll never know the right response until you have the COURAGE to reach out to that person.
Check-In on your people, more than once. đ
