Each one finds their way out through 8 simple steps, based on proven methodologies used by peer-support professionals in sanctuary spaces around the world. Color the page. Do the step. They find their way and you can, too.

The H.O.T.T. check

From Running on Empty. Any one of them is a reason to pause.

The letters spell H.O.T.T., but the order to actually do them is cool down, then sip, then snack, then rest. Cool the body before you try to fill it.

If something is actually wrong

This is a comfort tool, not medical advice. It doesn't diagnose, treat, or cure anything. It just sits with you, which is all we really need sometimes.

If someone is in medical danger (trouble breathing, unresponsive, severely overheated, injured, etc.) please seek professional help immediately. Find event medical staff or call your local emergency number. That's never overreacting.

Wherever you are, there is almost certainly a sanctuary space on site. It's free, and going there is never an overreaction either.
