Ok, this is an idea I came up with after reading many forum posts in the âWorld Events, Politics, Religion, Etc.â section. I have noticed that there are a lot of depressed people that are looking for help and not really getting it. A lot of people just shrug it off and say that âthere are a LOT of people worse off than they areâ. I donât want to hear any of that on this thread. The people saying this donât usually know what its like for the victims of depression. Depression is a mental condition usually triggered by a traumatic event or series of events. The victims canât help it. The official title of my program is Armor Games Big Brothers.
My idea is to have a group of volunteers to just talk with the for lack of a better word âpatientsâ. People would sign up for either a spot on the volunteer group or the patient group. The volunteers would be assigned a patient to talk to and help them out. There would also we a group of âanytimersâ who would be volunteers that are not assigned a patient and are for talking to patients whoâs âbig brotherâ isnât on, away for a while or if they need to talk NOW. I will be an anytimer.
Volunteers: I will randomly assign you a patient to talk with. Do not take this job light heartedly, the patients genuinely need help. You could change someoneâs life forever, or even save it. You will talk with your buddy on a regular basis until they donât need you. Please inform your buddy if you wonât be on for a while and when you are usually available.
Patients: Sign up for this if you need any kind of help, just tell me that u want in, and youâll be in. Donât take this as a joke; someone else could use your buddy. When you feel that you donât need your buddy tell them and me, and I will reassign them.
Anytimers: There will be a limited number of spots depending on demand. Just tell me you want to be an anytimer. Read above for volunteer description.
I truly believe in this and it is not to be taken lightly. A lot of people need help and arenât getting it. Please help them. It all starts with a smile. And you will feel better about yourself afterwards. =)
im not gonna volenteer, i admit that. not that i dont wanna help course for the love of god i want to, but id rather just come and leave a good comment(and trust me in a pro at determining peoples psychological profile)not like meet up everyday and so. but ill gladly help when needed
the intension is good however how would you plan something like this? how do you intend to list ppl up? how will you make sure you make as much good matches as possible?
anyways id guess ill sign up as anytimer, im not online everyday sometimes even less then once a week.
If someone was really depressed they sure as hell wouldn't be playing on AG. Are you a therapist? I would think not. If so, I apoligize, but if someone was in real depression, they need professional help.
