Stabilization Techniques

Guardrails

You have to be emotionally stable when caring for others who are in emotional distress.

The only known way to achieve this is ...

... through practicing techniques for emotional self-stabilization ...

... do not allocate the necessary resources to provide the needed services

I have seen too many interventions that were not cost-effective and hence considered either a luxury or would not be scaled-up/repeated.
