Lindsay Braman, who refers to herself as a visual translator, specializes in art that demystifies therapy. Her contributions gives people tools necessary to help them care a little bit better for themselves and others. She does this by presenting information in a visual format (into easy-to-understand graphics) giving people access to concepts, like research or theories, that might be challenging to learn verbally.

Please note: regional crisis response systems, policies, and outcomes can vary widely based on location, circumstances, and the people involved. The flow chart is her best attempt to offer a general overview of these processes in order to help individuals feel more empowered to make better-informed decisions.
