it's time to prioritize self-care and connection
Dealing with a loved one’s mental health struggles, past trauma, or diagnosis can create significant grief, worry, confusion, guilt, disbelief, disconnection, or feelings that you’re in crisis.
You want to continue being a solid support or caretaker for them but aren’t sure how. You’re worried your efforts won’t be enough, or worse, may cause them harm.
​
You don’t want to cause harm to yourself either. Finding ways to cope and set healthy boundaries is a priority.
​
For both of your sake, you can't keep grasping in the dark for answers, nor can you act like everything is the same as it was before mental health challenges.
feel more empowered as a support person
This 4-week workshop series is dedicated to supporting families, partners, and nonprofessional caretakers of those struggling with their mental health, so you can feel more confident navigating mental health challenges with your loved one, and recognize that you’re not alone. It offers a safe space where you can be heard and validated, learn skills about how to balance other-care with self-care, and to get expert, personalized guidance for your most burning questions. Major topics for the workshop series include:
