Bruce Levine writes in Take Part that “Recognizing the limitations of professional treatment can be sobering but can also serve as motivation for nonprofessionals to become part of the solution. Many people who don’t work professionally in mental health are, in fact, in a better position than professionals to connect with the pain of a young troubled person and to form a healing relationship that may well provide hope, stop a suicide attempt, or even prevent another school shooting tragedy.”
