Overview

High School students -- have you ever wanted to be a better helper with friends or relatives in crisis? Learn how to listen, learn the basics of crisis identification, and also learn when and how to refer someone in crisis to professional helpers. Empower your abilities to care!

Investiture Achievement Connection: This Honor is related to the Investiture Achievement requirements for GUIDE Serving Others which require the Pathfinder choose to complete selected requirements from among several Honors, including this Honor.. The Advanced Ribbon requires completion of a selected Honor, of which this is one of the options.

This honor was developed in cooperation with Adventist Community Services.

The Challenging Part

The most challenging requirement of this honor is probably this:

7. Demonstrate a grasp of basic listening skills by conducting an interview of at least 30 minutes duration. This interview must either be observed by an observer who can recognize listening skills, or taped for review by your instructor. The interview does not have to be with a person who is in crisis, but it must be a real conversation not pretend or role-playing.
