Experiencing crime can cause anxiety and stress. The 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique is a quick mindfulness exercise that uses your five senses to help calm anxiety, stop racing thoughts, and bring your focus back to the present moment.
This we want to remind you that there is support for you after crime. You are not alone.
