Great to meet you!
I have been enjoying this for 30 plus years working with kids in crisis, adult schizophrenic, life crisis intervention, grief and suicide prevention. 22 years retired Army. Retired VA, and DoD with dependents.

Reality, solution focused is maybe the best route. Sometimes it can take a while to accept the best answer.
Honesty, open, understanding and a willingness to listen and not judge.
