Stories of how strangers have been able to help when they鈥檝e seen a person in distress.

The rock legend Jon Bon Jovi made headlines around the world and earned much praise after he was seen helping a distressed woman on the ledge of a bridge in Nashville, Tennessee. He approached her, talked to her, and gave her a warm hug after she climbed back to safety. 鈥淲hat I鈥檝e noticed is the most potent medicine that I can give somebody is a caring heart and a hug in their times of trial,鈥� says first responder Marc Maikoski who has been involved in many such incidents in his own area in California. Marc and our other guests discuss how 鈥渟eeing鈥� an individual can be the crucial moment for a person in a dark moment and how the intervention of a stranger, who takes the time and shows the courage to talk, can turn a situation around.
