Had a client go into crisis mode today because of the Elon salute

Have seen this individual for 2 years. Has a severe mental illness and has been quite distressed about the state of our politics and fears being persecuted for their sexuality and identity. Went to the hospital shortly after the video of Musk came out. These are the effects that we don’t consider when making political choices. We have become too entrenched in political rhetoric and have forgotten to put kindness and acceptance on top of that list. They’re safe, but their life has been terribly impacted. Check on your folks and be willing to provide the support and advocacy they deserve. Our jobs are hard and we have our own struggles, but we take on the burden of helping those that often lack support and acceptance in their lives. Good luck.
