The BigJake guy
Who is he?
BigJake is a fictional avatar in BigJakeConnects He represents the typical lumberjack, the local farmer, the construction or trade guy, plumbers, electricians, even factory workers, office workers, or the sales guys in our community.
Many of us are BigJake's in our own way. Often they call us blue collar workers, but we identify more as the hands-on, non-academic guys that get the physical stuff done.
BigJakeConnects is designed for busy guys with a short attention span to find local support and tools to fix, manage or at least understand their emotional pain when they are in crisis.
BigJakeConnects tries to get through the clutter of information overload by focusing on life stuff that really matters. Giving you a voice to be heard and connecting you with the local help you might need.
BigJakeConnects does not know it all, but we have our collective wisdom or local community support network that might have some of the answers or solutions that we need today.
BigJakeConnects hopes to add simple but usable tools in the tool section of every topic.
This will be a work in progress as the BigJakeConnects team, our local services provider partners and our clients propose proven tools or time tested methods of self management or reflection.
Welcome to BigJakeConnects
We believe that we as a community can help each other be successful in overcoming some of life stuff that comes our way.
Because we are all different and have different needs and stuff you are encouraged to look at our topic pictures or categories and try to identify your biggest pain or struggle.
Each topic has a related topic link for further exploring. Then send us a short email if you like with your opinion or thoughts specifically around that topic.
We would then post a short extract or summary on our community opinion link where others can read it and give their insight and or opinion. Each of our topics has different voices with their opinion as well as a toolbox with tools or suggestions from our collaborative partners.
Have a look and see if some of those tools can work for you. Make suggestions on new topics that we can add to this growing list.
Finally, we encourage you to see if we have a link to local community service or a program that can support you to be successful in self-managing your pain or struggle.
If no link is available, then send us an email and we will explore what services are possibly available and list them. bigJake is a work in progress
With your help we will get there sooner.
