Action by Sophie
Since the aftermath of the Siege of Arx, the Mother Mercy has been dedicating herself to the Harrowed Heart initiative, which is meant to treat the fear, anxiety, and other stress and troubles often plaguing those who've suffered immense trauma via violence, encounters with Abyssal horrors, dramatic displacement, or the terrible living conditions of abject poverty.
To this effect, Sophie has used the goodwill the Mercies garner to reach out to the community, raise awareness, and provide quality care. Outreach was further provided by the Physicians Guild. Additionally, the Mercies invested 100,000 of their silver to help implement the program and improve the quality of life of those in most need.
In collaboration with Mercy Cybele, Sophie has put together a therapy program to aid all denizens of Arx and welcomed refugees in need. Much time was spent seeing that the Mercies of Arx were properly trained to administer such care. She also personally provided some treatment.
The blessing of Radiant Selene, who volunteered the free services of Whisper House to help treat some of the most severe cases of Harrowed Heart, is a blessing to the cause. The fundraising efforts and favors called in by Softest Whisper Saedrus were highly beneficial and compounded by his personal generosity.
It is the collective intent to see those so afflicted return to a sense of normalcy and to let all the public know they are cared for. Not a one-shot deal, this is intended as proof of concept to become a standard practice of care throughout all the Compact.
Action by Cybele(RIP)
Cybele has aided in raising the resources necessary to see Mother Sophie's mission through, and takes quite the personal interest in both helping train mercies in the vagaries of the soul and treating people themselves. The shaman tries to do their best in spreading their knowledge around, and steels themselves for the many many sad and traumatic tales they have to deal with.
Action by Selene
The Whisper House has worked with the Mother Mercy from the inception of her program, offering various forms of backing throughout. Most significantly, they've taken her innovative work as a guide to expanding their own services. While forms of talk therapy have always been a part, albeit an unofficial one, of Courtesan's skillset (after all, empathizing with and talking with clients about their troubles constitutes a huge portion of their regular work), Sophie's efforts at medically documenting and treating the trauma suffered by soldiers during the siege have broadened the Whisper's understanding of such issues. To aid those suffering, they've opened the House's services to those referred by the Physicians free of charge, with Selene offering personal treatment to those most ill-affected. That policy will continue going forward, while the House will also incorporate the Mother Mercy's work as an aspect of their general training going forward so that such theraputic techniques will become standard and more professionally focused.
Result
Since the aftermath of the Siege of Arx, the Mother Mercy has been dedicating herself to the Harrowed Heart initiative, which is meant to treat the fear, anxiety, and other stress and troubles often plaguing those who've suffered immense trauma via violence, encounters with Abyssal horrors, dramatic displacement, or the terrible living conditions of abject poverty.
The Mercies under Mother Mercy Sophie Valardin, along with Mercy Cybele have put together a program to aid all those in Arx who are in need, including those refugees who fled the Silence and made new homes here. Radiant Selene also joined their efforts, treating people as appropriate with some of the services Whisper House provides, and Softest Whisper Saedrus threw his heart into fundraising as well to help fund their efforts. Those most in need are grateful, though their work has picked up a bit considering the latest reports on cultists and murders. Now more than ever, their efforts are appreciated by those in need.
