Video ; username: shannaro | cw: talk about traumatic response

[ 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.

Hah, that sounds familiar. It was pretty much the same back home, too. Usually ended with kids going into gangs or doing...worse. [Like trying to murder the entire royal family. Those kinds of things. ] But I agree. People need help and guidance if they've got any hope of getting better.

[But she's making some really good points and he hums softly to himself as he digests that. He's suffered a hell of a lot, back home, in the dream and here- but it has given him an insight into things others wouldn't have. Let him be able to at least off help to his friends when he could.

He just hadn't...really thought about it up until now.

That's actually really helpful, thank you. You've given me some things to think about .

And yeah, it's...really good that you're trying. It's something we need here- especially with how corruption is. That gets real bad real fast.

It sounds like a really good idea. It's definitely the best way to combat corruption and that's just going to be a bigger and bigger problem the more people end up here. Better have a system in place sooner rather than later.

[Because all it will take is one minor catastrophe hitting enough people and they'll have a bunch of Sleepers crippled by beasthood in a second.]

I've been through it and got brought back from beasthood. My memories of it are...kinda foggy, but I'll give you any information you want about it. I don't mind. Not talking about it is definitely not a way I wanna go.
