Difficult Trip ("Bad" Trip)
Consider:

*A challenging noise experience is not automatically bad.
*Every trip passes.

⫸ Take a breath. If you’re calm, this will reflect onto the other person.
⫸ Protect the person, accompany them to a safe space. Send away disruptive people, involve helpful/supportive friends. 
⫸ Act mindfully. Listen. Give the person time.
⫸ Check for physical discomfort, call emergency services if necessary. 
⫸ Consciously breathe together: slowly and calmly in and out.
⫸ Check basic needs: air, warm/cold, rest, food/drink, toilet.
⫸ Offer what might do well: Cozy corner, tasty drink, etc.
⫸ Do not encroach. Never touch without consent. If desired, a hug can be helpful.
⫸ Get the support you need - trip sitting can be exhausting. Don't work alone. Give yourself breaks.
⫸ Always give the person an offer of further help before parting ways.

⫸ Create a comfortable atmosphere. Offer the person what is good for feeling comfortable, e.g., a cozy corner, warm, dimmed light, etc.
⫸ Conscious breathing can do good: Breathe out and in together, slowly and calmly.
⫸ Never apply touch without being asked! If desired, on the other hand, a hand on the shoulder or a hug, for example, can be very helpful and healing.
⫸ Always separate with an agreement on how to proceed and, if necessary, a further offer.

Never arbitrarily Never administer medication on your own - this may make you liable to prosecution for bodily injury! In case of doubt, always dial 112 and get others to help!

112 | How do I make an emergency call correctly?

The following applies in principleThe person on the emergency call directs the conversation. Follow the instructions!

"The 5 W's"

WHO is calling?

WHERE did it happen? Give exact location, send other person outside to brief RTW.

WHAT happened?

- Describe symptoms accurately (e.g., person is convulsing, unconscious, pale, having trouble breathing), do not make diagnoses (e.g., "person is having epileptic seizure") - this could prove to be incorrect.

- On the phone do not establish a connection to drug use drug use! The emergency services are prepared in any case! If the word "drugs" is mentioned on the phone, the police often come along, but that doesn't help anyone.

HOW? many people are involved?

WAIT on queries

When emergency services arrive on the scene:

- Inform them exactly what you observed. (If known)

-now also tell them what substances were consumed. Medical personnel are bound by confidentiality.
