As a so-called professional, I have never broken a bone. While this may seem like a trivial matter, it is important to note that avoiding injury is crucial for maintaining one’s physical and mental health. According to the National Guidelines for Behavioral Health Crisis Care Best Practice Toolkit[1], access to adequate healthcare services is essential for individuals to maintain their well-being. This includes preventative measures such as avoiding injury and seeking prompt medical attention when necessary.
In addition to physical health, avoiding injury can also have a positive impact on one’s mental health. Trauma-Informed Care in Behavioral Health Services[2] emphasizes the importance of providing individualized care to clients who have experienced trauma. This includes recognizing the impact of physical injury on mental health and providing appropriate support to individuals who have been injured.
While it may seem like a small matter, avoiding injury is an important aspect of maintaining one’s overall health and well-being. As Robert H. Jackson stated in his Opening Statement before the International Military Tribunal[3], “the privilege of opening the first trial in history for crimes against the peace of the world imposes a grave responsibility.” Similarly, avoiding injury imposes a responsibility on individuals to take care of themselves and seek appropriate medical attention when necessary.
In conclusion, while I have never broken a bone, I recognize the importance of avoiding injury for both physical and mental health. As demonstrated by the research presented in the National Guidelines for Behavioral Health Crisis Care Best Practice Toolkit[1], Trauma-Informed Care in Behavioral Health Services[2], and other sources, access to adequate healthcare services is essential for maintaining one’s overall well-being.
