Hỗ trợ bạn không nên cung cấp: Tư vấn sức khỏe tâm thần
Có một số loại hỗ trợ và lời khuyên mà bạn không nên cố gắng cung cấp cho người dùng. Chúng bao gồm tư vấn sức khoẻ tâm thần và tư vấn pháp luật, cả hai chỉ nên được cung cấp bởi các chuyên gia được đào tạo và có trình độ.
Nếu bạn xử lý các trường hợp quấy rối, bạn sẽ phải đối phó với những người ở các mức độ khác nhau của sự đau khổ về tinh thần. Hầu hết mọi người hiểu rằng người dùng có quyền tiên tiến không phải là chuyên gia về tâm lý và sẽ không mong đợi bạn cung cấp tư vấn, nhưng trong những trường hợp ai đó đang trong tình trạng khủng hoảng hoặc nơi mà bạn cảm thấy lời khuyên về sức khoẻ tâm thần thích hợp là hiển nhiên. Làm ơn đừng làm thế.
Tại sao bạn không nên tư vấn, ngay cả trong trường hợp người đó cần hoặc bạn tin rằng bạn biết phải làm gì? Với nhiều lý do:
- Boundaries: As someone handling a harassment issue, your community expects you to act in a neutral, investigatory manner. Reaching past that role to counsel an involved user risks confusing them – "is this person an investigator or my friend/advisor?" – and overstepping the trust your community gave you.
- Not dividing your energy: You hold advanced rights in your community because your community felt you had expertise in the skills that role calls for: discretion, knowledge of IP address technology, good judgment in resolving disputes, and so on. Even if you think advice beyond your role could be useful, remember that you are of most use to someone in a harassment situation by using the skills the community asked you to use; try not to get sidetracked by trying to offer other services as well.
- Safety of the user: Unless you are a trained mental health professional, you simply cannot know the appropriate way to treat or counsel someone in a mental health crisis. Trying to do so without the necessary expertise means that, if you make a wrong treatment decision, you could inadvertently harm the person you are trying to help. In the case of mental health and crisis counseling, this kind of mistake could lead to a person in crises becoming even more upset, or causing a non-life-threatening situation to escalate into a life-threatening crisis.
- Liability: By representing yourself as someone able to provide mental health advice, you could be violating laws in many places that govern who may give medical treatment. If such a law applies to you, you could be held legally responsible for negative repercussions from the advice you provided. Professional providers have insurance to protect them in this situation; you likely do not.
To sum up: In a harassment situation, it is in everyone's best interests for you to focus on assisting with your community and project expertise, not as a mental health counselor. You may optionally wish to suggest to a user who asks for counseling that they reach out to an organization like the National Association for Mental Illness (NAMI) (US only), which can help those in need find mental health treatment and resources. You can also provide links to a resource directory such as the Metafilter "There is help" page (international). You are not obligated to do so if you are not comfortable.
If you believe a situation is an emergency where the target or someone else is in immediate physical danger, you should contact emergency@wikimedia.org or local authorities immediately.
