[Noisebridge-discuss] dealing with a troubled young lady? Discuss it on today's member meeting?

[Frantisek Apfelbeck]

Hello to All,
Well I've met this girl yesterday, directly after her arrival to Noisebridge. 
I'm not able to say how deep is her expertise or "anything else" so I've treated 
her as anyone else who is at Noisebridge first time, with strengthening the 
"calm down" issue.

I've recommended her to sign for the discussion mailing list and post what 
projects she is up to and sign it also for discussion for up coming Noisebridge 
member meeting (Today at 8 pm). In that way, we can see as a group what is the 
story. I prefer to wait for the meeting and for more members to be present to 
make decision. I think that there should not be any "major event" before than, 
at least I hope. 


One thing what I can say for sure, she is extremely dedicated, alas I do not 
know to what, I was not able to catch her drift. 


What do you think?

Sincerely,

Frantisek

Not being in the space, I don't know the magnitude of the issue, but there are 
some decent acute mental health resources in the city.  Check out 
http://www.namisf.org/crisis-serv.html.

I wouldn't be put off by the term 'crisis'. In order to receive acute care (as 
opposed to long-term), potential patients must first be evaluated by 
crisis-oriented personnel.

HTH,
