May is Mental Health Awareness Month. When someone has a mental health condition, support from family and friends can make a BIG difference. If you're struggling with a mental health issues, please let others know. Don't suffer alone.  

For family and friends, here are few things that you can do to be supportive: 
  • Learn as much as possible about mental health and the person's condition. 
  • Encourage your family member to follow the treatment plan. 
  • Listen carefully. Simply listening is one of the best ways to show your support. When you don't what to say, it's better to be silent than say something "snap out of it" or "get over it". 
  • Resume "normal" activities and routines. 
  • Don't push too hard. 
  • Express your support out loud. 
  • Prepare a crisis plan that includes important phone numbers such as the local crisis intervention team. 
  • Don't give up.  Be patient with your loved one and be patient with yourself.  God is with you for the long haul.
