Learn More About What Might Be Going On

You may be wondering about whether what you're see is really anything to be concerned about or what it could possible be. We want to stress that we're not interested in you diagnosing your loved one. We provide information to help you understand more about what might be going on can help and have a better idea when more professional help is needed.

What I can do to help

One of the hardest things to do is to stand by when we see things happening with someone we care about. We want to do something - or get them to do something about it. And we feel powerless.

If we try to talk with them about it, they may get angry, shut us out, or walk away.
If we say nothing - we feel guilty we're not being more of a friend, more supportive.
The hardest thing is to realize we can't make anyone see what we see or do what we think is best for them.

What we CAN do

Learn more about how people change and get motivated
Learn how to communicate in ways that will build bridges and connection.
Learn to 'let go' and trust them to find out what works best for them.

Taking care of myself? Really? No time!

Having a loved one who's challenged with stress, depression or anxiety can be exhausting. It can leave you feeling tired, stressed, anxious and depression yourself! Because you're focusing your attention on being there for your loved one, it's to run out of time to take care of yourself.

We want to remind you about how important it is for you to take care of yourself. It's not a luxury: it’s an absolute necessity. Remember what they say when you start an airplane trip - if the oxygen masks drop down - put yours on first. You're no good to anyone else if you're not at your best.
