A smile behind the crowd

Daily writing prompt
What do you do to be involved in the community?

I give back to my community by helping those with a mental health diagnosis understand their diagnosis is not a handicap. I educate and teach those around in my community just stopping and listening to a complete stranger is given back. No, it may not be in an actual organization, but sometimes it’s the small things that we do that are not displayed for others to see. I like to speak to people in the community to provide a smile and help them to laugh. Helping people in the community to laugh helps to lighten the load for some because, we never know what another person is going through. So, I guess it would be just having a simple conversation with a stranger but, teaching and communicating to my clients’ positive social interaction. In addition to being a listening ear to someone in need. It is amazing what just being silent in someone presence can help them with…I guess that’s why I love what I do… inspiring another to see all people are not bad in the world.

Thank you for taking the time in reading.
