Crossnore Communities for Children

At Crossnore, when we engage with how others deal with challenges, we employ an incredible level of support, flexibility, and compassion unique to the individual. Today on the blog, Adventure Specialist, Patrick, talks about how those in the helping profession have tools and skills to guide others through challenging experiences. Instead of stopping there, Patrick talks about applying some of those same methods to ourselves. The support, flexibility, and compassion we show others should also be shown to ourselves.
