Volunteering to support others in crisis helps individuals break out of survival mode and rebuild personal agency by shifting focus from internal, chaotic thought loops to actionable, community-based service. This practice aids in recovery by replacing feelings of helplessness with purposeful action and fostering a "helper's high" of positive, neurochemical-boosting activity. Individuals looking to channel their experience into purposeful action can explore the Care Coordination for Families in Crisis initiative at LJLearn.com

Care Coordination services and intake are managed by licensed therapist Samantha Lubin (Binstock), LPC-Associate, supervised by Sharon Bien, LPCS. For more information visit SamanthaBinstock.com.
