A crisis is like a violent manifestation of a feeling, of a state of mind (sadness, anger, suicidal ideas, despair) and occurring in an unpredictable way.
It is a moment when everything seems to be out of our control and we have the feeling that nothing is going well and will never go well again. However, a crisis comes suddenly but is always temporary.
We are here to help you through your crisis.
