Its been a very wonderful first week.

From recent research published about the approach:

"Just Listening was first pioneered at the Humane Clinic in
Australia in a community based setting as alternative crisis response to traditional medical responses to mental health crisis which may involve sectioning, medicating or sedating, and shown to be an effective response to human distress, with those who visited the centre in distress experiencing relief by the end of their JL session".
