Outreach workers knew the script inside and out, and backwards and forward; the good ones knew that trust, compassion and recovery tools needed further implementation to help lift that man or woman from the doldrums of their lives; lifting their heads above water so they could breathe again, and gain some insight into their recovery. These workers dug in deep and came up empty many times over, but there is often a flicker of hope that connects with an increment of courage, and the dimmest of light can be seen at the end of the tunnel. With the right words spoken with perfect timing, reaching inside and growing that tiny morsel of hope, bit by bit, and day by day, that flicker will grow into a fire needed to change the negative trajectory of America's poor mental health.
