Seattle Stories - Justine, person experiencing homelessness
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2024
- Justine is a Native American born in Omak, WA, and raised in the nearby area with her five siblings. Justine dropped out of high school in the 11th grade and moved to Spokane with her friend. During her time there, she was in a horrendous car accident and almost lost her life, requiring her to relearn how to walk.
About six months after her recovery, when she was 19, her father passed away, and Justine's world turned upside down. It was during this time that Justine started using illegal drugs to cope with the pain.
Justine has been in and out of treatment centers trying to overcome her addiction. She recently lived in a tiny home village in Ballard that only houses Native Americans and worked in the University District. Unfortunately, she was asked to leave for missing curfew too many times and was let go from her job for being late too often.
She is currently living in a tent on the streets of Seattle, this is part of her story.

You got this, girl! You’ve lived through some really difficult situations and you’ve lived through it. That shows how strong you truly are. You said you don’t have a plan- get one. What are you good at? I’m sure all kinds of stuff! Maybe enroll in some type of trade school. Surround yourself with people who want to see you succeed. You’re young and have so much potential! Your whole life is ahead of you. Make your dad proud and take care of yourself! ❤️❤️❤️
Dear Justine, thank you for sharing your story. Seeing you brings back memories from when I was living near Seattle as an exchangestudent of 17 from Norway. You have such a powerful personality, with the most beautiful eyes and caring statements. I so hope that you will let those who love you, and care about you help and support you. And please, please try anything but fentanyl, it`s so dangerous. Wishing you all the best, with love from Torhild
i dislike fentanyl and all dealers who sell that crap
Sister, prayers up. You're so worth the words and compassion of your dad. Red Road teaches us recovery and to live life on life's terms. No more fear no more anger. Just a beautiful reminder of your courage and determination to fight for yourself. I hate the word resilience ! Daaamn, ughh the choices we make when we are struggling just to breathe. - You can do this! We recover my friend ❤️💛🤍🖤🪶🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
DBT focuses on teaching people skills to manage intense emotions, cope with challenging situations, and improve their relationships. It encourages people to learn and use mindfulness training in practical ways. During individual and group sessions, therapists encourage a nonjudgmental attitude and emphasize acceptance, compassion, and other aspects of mindfulness. DBT is tough, its hard to get your story out to others when at treatment. YOU DEFINATELY CRY

I was looking forward to having sympathy for this lady, but she doesn't follow rules. Simple rules she can't follow like be at the tiny house or at work on time. She's at the point that drugs are secondary of her issues with homelessness. She gets kicked out and fired for not being responsible...no one is hurting her but herself. I hope she gets it together.

Jesus is the way, truth and life. Drugs isn't the answer. You can't just do what you want. You had housing and a job.
