Ryan Roeschlein Email & Phone Number

I usually work the night shifts during the weekends answering chats that come in. Since it's a crisis chatline the chats vary in intensity. However, we also accept chat overflow for 988. This means that I also had experience working a decent amount of more intense conversations. I have been able see and help speak to people experiencing a variety of different stressful and heartbreaking situations. I have been involved in calls where the police were needed to be called and have experience for speaking with panicked individuals. I am grateful for the opportunity to try my best to help these individuals in need.

I worked over the summer at a nursing home providing emotional support to my assigned patient. I would make sure the nursing home staff were treating both her and her roommate with respect and proper care. I would converse with both of them and try my best to help them be comfortable during their visit. I would try my best to bring them small things like their favorite candy or drink to make them feel better. I think by doing this they felt appreciated. Over the months both her and her roommate grew closer, and I got a great appreciation for importance of personal patient care.

I was a volunteer for guest services at the hospital. I did a verity of different tasks to make sure that guests and patients were able to find their way around. I would usually walk patients to their destination or give directions if I was working alone. I would also help in making sure the wings of the hospital had enough wheelchairs. I enjoyed the opportunity of speaking to a variety of different patients and staff that worked in the many different areas of the hospital.
