1.
c. affirmation.
When we acknowledge another person's worth as an individual we are
giving affirmation of people. More explicitly, going out your way to help
someone else, even if it means giving constructive criticism, shows
affirmation. Such an action serves as recognition of a person's worth and
provides a sense of strength to a suicidal individual.
2.
b. an intentional action
Compassion is an intentional action which results from a basic belief of
the right of all people to have a chance to live. Compassion makes us
want to respond in a positive, concerned manner toward an individual who
needs our help. Personal integrity and integrity of the unit is reinforced by
