Empathy is the core work of Crisis Center, Inc. Through each of our programs, we provide unconditional positive regard for every person who needs our help, providing a listening ear to help someone face their darkest moment, which can empower them to move forward on their individual path to healing. When someone feels heard, they can process their emotions without the fear of shame or judgement. Through processing their emotions, it becomes easier to find solutions or to manage the situation or mental health issues that have played such a critical role in their crisis.
