so they don't do that? ah well, my mistake, lol! funnily enough, I actually heard it from a trainee psychologist working in a prison; come to think of it, we were all pretty drunk at the time, so I guess I have mis-remembered it, or she was exaggerating
having more trained people to help is definitely a good thing - it doesn't help though that it's so so so difficult to get into mental health work that only a tiny fraction of those who would like to do it actually end up doing it. those who do manage to succeed, are truly impressive individuals in their own right
