If you are ever on the street sharing care bags and possibly Street Care lessons and feel that something isn’t quite right, you should always trust your gut feeling. It could be someone staring at you in a way that makes you uneasy, or maybe someone makes a comment that makes you uncomfortable. 

Sometimes, it’s as simple as the locality feeling off. Whatever the case, trust your gut and walk away confidently. You do not always have to try to identify the exact problem. Even if there turns out to be nothing to worry about, if you get that feeling, err on the side of caution and go to another location where you feel comfortable. 

It’s always fine to take a stroll or to go to a cafe and enjoy a break. And, if you still don’t feel settled, don’t let anything pressure you to keep going. You can feel proud calling it a day and knowing all the sharing and help that you provided. Let that inspire you and others to go out again. The more often you go out, the more it becomes second nature.

• – If you feel uneasy, trust your gut and walk away.
• – Go to a location where you are more comfortable.
• – You can take a break and regroup or call it a day if you feel unsettled.
