Hi Megan,
What an experience, whew, this was a very difficult situation to manage! The fact that you sought out and utilized helpful resources was definitely in your roommates best interest. I would agree with you that, in the future, it would be best to have a trusting conversation with her and give her time to seek help on her own or in a way that was most comfortable for her. I would imagine that the action plans that we cover our readings would've helped in this situation and would give you ways to advise her effectively. We learn from all of these life lessons. I'm glad that she got the needed counseling, resources, and assistance. Nice job on this post!
Best,
Charise
