When You or Others Need Help

We are inherently social beings, thriving when we are connected with others. Many of us were raised to be incredibly independent and do things on our own. There are numerous benefits to engaging with and helping others others. Psychologists have found that in addition to fostering social connectedness, reaching out and working with others can reduce loneliness, boost positive mental health and create a sense of positive well-being.

Unfortunately, there are situations that arise that absolutely require reaching out for help -- for not just emotional support, but physical support and safety. If you find a family member, friend, tenant or other person who has gotten overwhelmed with cleaning, decluttering or managing their household safety, this is definitely not a time to go it alone. 

On a practical level, while you want to help the person right away by potentially cleaning a cluttered and unsanitary space, it may lead to a host of additional issues, such as:

  • The spread of viruses or bacteria possibly being inhaled without proper respiratory protection.
  • Bedbugs or other insects taking an unintended trip on your clothing to your own home or other spaces.
  • Contaminants that can cause physical harm without proper disposal.
  • Feeling overwhelmed yourself and experiencing more stress and anxiety.

Bio-One Columbus is your Central Ohio connection to remove the hazards for you and the individual. Our staff are trained to efficiently, discretely and effectively remove biohazardous waste and get living spaces habitable again. You can reduce time worrying about things that might impact your own health and wellness, and will have more time to focus on supporting the person and helping improve their well-being.
