Health Crisis Intervention

Page 2: Crisi health

Why?If you were one day, to go to the doctor and find out that you

have a serious illness, how would you feel? Now, say you had a hard year, you barely made enough money to make ends meet, and you find out that you have this illness. What would you do? How do you think you’d be able to cope? Do you think you’d be worried? Do you think you’d be able to handle things rationally, take care of everyday tasks, and still be able to heal, and be open with your friends and family?
