The Rooster Crow

Peter and Judas

There is a moment in every crisis when something shifts—a sudden spark of awareness, a piercing realization that echoes deep in the soul. I call it the “Rooster Crow” moment—that instance when a person in despair awakens to the possibility of hope. It’s a call to remember, to feel, and to reconnect.

For those of us passionate about crisis intervention, understanding this moment is key. Kindness, as simple as it seems, is often the catalyst that brings people back from the edge. It creates a climate where resiliency, recovery, and referral are not only possible but probable. Through connectedness, we foster life-saving opportunities for hope, help, and healing.
