[ The feed comes on to show a pink haired girl, smiling warmly. She tucks her hair behind her ear before addressing everyone. ]

Hi. I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Haruno Sakura and I've recently become a temporary resident of this place. It's come to my attention that I have some skills which might be put to good use here. First of all, I'm a medical ninja back home and I have an extensive knowledge of medicine, poison control, and emergency medical treatment. I think medicine works a little differently here than it does back home, but I'm happy to assist wherever I can.

The other thing I've noticed about this place and I know I'm calling attention to the obvious, is that it seems to enjoy dragging up and forcing it's residents to face their traumas. Either that or it's creating new traumatic experiences for people. I'm entirely too familiar with what happens when repeated traumatic events are dragged up over and over again for an individual. It breaks a person down mentally and physically and that manifests in some unique ways here.

People so often misunderstand trauma and they place blame on the sufferer, despite that it is born out of a need to protect oneself against very real threats to one's wellbeing. Back home I've been developing a model and treatment program that hopes to intervene before the behaviors of trauma become so self destructive that they harm the individual suffering from them, or those the individual may otherwise care about.

While I am sure that everyone here has developed coping skills of some sort, and that there are avenues that one might use to calm down or decompress, it never hurts to have more outlets and resources when dealing with mental health and trauma. So I'm hoping to utilize my knowledge and skills from back home to create a program that would offer further assistance in maintaining a healthy mental balance and perhaps even treat more severe trauma.

If there is an interest, not only would I like to create a safe space for people who suffering with mental health, but I'd also like to create a team of people who would be interested in learning how to professionally help others. While a base understanding of mental health is helpful, I've developed my program from the ground up and trained countless individuals in how to use it to benefit patients. So I can happily host workshops and seminars.

I just think that if we stand mentally at our strongest, then we'll be so much better prepared for the challenges that we consistently face. Treating trauma patients is a passion of mine and if I can help ease the burdens of anyone here while I am stuck in this limbo, I welcome the opportunity.

Of course. I know it is a difficult thing to organize and I'm happy to share what I know.

[creationrebirth]

May I ask about your experience? I'm happy to share more of mine as well.

[jedies]

Certainly.

I was raised as a Jedi. Our purpose is to serve as peace-keepers and support for all living things within the galaxy. We practice mindfulness and balance in helping creatures grow and find their purpose.

[creationrebirth]

Oh, sir, that's so lovely. I think in many ways where I come from ninja are trained with the same sort of mindset. Of course, keeping the peace isn't always been so peaceful, but we train in many things like balance and mindfulness.

[jedies]

[ he nods. ]

We have similar skills, but our main mission in life is to promote peace and understanding.

[creationrebirth]

Then you would be a huge asset to the space I'm trying to build. My hope is to build a facility that would act like a place of peace and healing. On top of that I would offer trainings and information about things that can help people cope with the trials we face here and in every day life. I really want to promote peace, compassion, and build safety for those who are trapped here. Especially those most at risk for corruption.

[jedies]

That sounds lovely.

What brought this on, if I may ask?

[ this doesn't sound like a suggestion she had on arrival. it sounds like it's been in the works in her head for some time now. ]

[creationrebirth]

[ She contemplates how to explain her own purpose for it. There are several reasons, but it's how she knows to help. The truth however is a little more personal. ]

I suppose it's a couple of things, as it's something I'm working on back home that I believe would be put to good use here. However, I suppose in a big way, I'm concerned about the corruption that consumes people. See, I arrived here with a man who is very dear to me. He's been through too much and seen too much. He's finally found a sense of calm and peace and I suppose I worry about that being disrupted. Having conversations with others, I've noticed a pattern of concern related to loved ones losing their stability. If I can do anything to help prevent corruption or help people heal from it, then I want to offer everything I can to that pursuit.

[jedies]

[ ah. so there was some kind of personal connection. not that it's a bad thing. it made sense. ]

The corruption is, unfortunately, not entirely tied to mental health though it is a big factor.
