YOU CAN WORK ON SELECTED FORMS ALONE, OR WITH SOMEONE ELSE LIKE A TRUSTED FRIEND, CAREGIVER, PARENT, RELATIVE, OR SPOUSE. DEPENDING ON WHAT SYMPTOMS YOU HAVE, YOUR CURRENT SITUATION, AND PAST EVENTS, REACHING OUT FOR SUPPORT TO A COUNSELOR, PASTOR, CHAPLAIN, MENTAL HEALTH SPECIALIST, SUPPORT GROUP, ETC, CAN BE A VALUABLE AND LIFE ALTERING DECISION WITH A FASTER HEALING TIME.
WHY I CREATED THE HEART OF HOPE PLAN?
YEARS AGO I WAS SEEING A COUNSELOR AND WHILE IT WAS NICE HAVING A SAFE PERSON TO TALK WITH, TALKING JUST WASN'T ENOUGH FOR HEALING. THANKFULLY THIS COUNSELOR ENDED UP STARTING A GROUP DBT CLASS THAT TAUGHT ME HOW TO CHANGE MY THOUGHTS AND USE DISTRACTIONS FOR HEALING. IT ALSO GAVE ME AN INSIGHT TO HOW HURTS IN LIFE CAN AFFECT THE WAY PEOPLE SEE THEMSELVES.
OVER THE YEARS I HAVE BUILT ON THE FOUNDATION LEARNED IN THE DBT CLASS AND SPENT MORE TIME LEARNING ABOUT MYSELF. I STARTED MAKING FORMS TO FURTHER MY SELF-EDUCATION BECAUSE I KEPT FORGETTING ABOUT OTHER DISTRACTIONS THAT HELP ME BESIDES NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY AND WARM WATER OF WASHING DISHES. BY HAVING A NOTEBOOK WITH FORMS FOUND IN THE HEART OF HOPE PLAN, IT MAKES MY LIFE EASIER, MORE ORGANIZED, LESS FORGETFUL, AND EASIER TO HEAL.
THEN I STARTED MAKING ADDITIONAL FORMS TO HELP OTHERS WITH VARIOUS TOPICS THEY MAY BE DEALING WITH - AND I'M NOT FINISHED YET. THERE ARE MORE FORMS AND TOPICS TO COME, SO I CONSIDER THIS WEBSITE AND HEART OF HOPE PLAN TO BE - "A WORK IN PROGRESS".

BESIDES THE REASONS LISTED ABOVE, THE MAIN REASON WHY I STARTED MAKING FORMS FOR OTHERS IS SO THAT EVERYONE CAN HAVE ACCESS TO MATERIALS WHICH MAY HELP THEM. YEARS AGO, SOMEONE I CARE ABOUT WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR A THREE DAY OBSERVATION STAY AFTER AN UNSUCCESSFUL SUICIDE ATTEMPT. ON THE DAY OF RELEASE FROM THE HOSPITAL, A FOLLOW-UP COUNSELING APPOINTMENT WAS MADE AND THE SOONEST AVAILABLE WAS TWO WEEKS AWAY. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT A SUICIDAL PERSON WOULD NEED TO WAIT THAT LONG FOR AN APPOINTMENT. IT WAS A VERY SCARY AND STRESSFUL TIME FOR EVERYONE WHO LOVES THIS PERSON. I DON'T WANT OTHERS TO FEEL WHAT WE WENT THROUGH, AND TO NOT HAVE ANY MATERIALS/ADVICE ON HOW TO HELP A STRUGGLING LOVED ONE.

MEDICAL DISCLAIMER:
GALLERY OF HOPE IS NOT A MENTAL HEALTH SPECIALIST, BUT JUST A PERSON TRYING TO HELP OTHERS BY CREATING FREE WELL-BEING AND PREVENTION RESOURCES. BECAUSE I HAVE NO FORMAL TRAINING IN MENTAL HEALTH, THESE MATERIALS ARE NOT TO BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR GETTING NEEDED MENTAL HEALTH CARE. THEY WERE CREATED BECAUSE LIFE IS SO UNCERTAIN, NO ONE KNOWS WHEN THESE MATERIALS WILL HELP THEMSELVES OR SOMEONE ELSE. |
