Got someone in a crisis, and you don’t know how to help? Want to do something but you’re not sure what? This episode is for you. 

Here is the rub: we can’t always fix the issue/diagnosis, that's up to the health professionals. But as friends, we can help our mates cope by making our care active, rather than passive. We can turn our 'thinking of you's' into actionable gestures. And we can get our caring out of our heads and into the world.

In this episode, Glynn gives us some things to think about, in regards to what good helping can look like and what should be considered. We look at what actually makes a difference. Glynn also opens up the playbook of things that were done for him and his family that they really appreciated during the diagnosis and treatment journey. 

We would love to hear from you if this episode resonated with you, if you have questions, or if you just want to let us know you’re listening. You can email us at [email protected]

Lastly, Chemotional Rollercoaster is not a substitute for seeking professional advice. The strategies and skills discussed in all Chemotional Rollercoaster episodes are either what has worked for Glynn or his guests, specifically, or are things discussed in a general way. Anyone who is dealing with their own health issues, mental or physical, should seek their own professional advice on what may help to support them, uniquely. Often, the best place to start is your family doctor or GP. If anyone is struggling, and needs to talk immediately, please call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
