Supporting friends and loved ones struggling with mental health illnesses.
This week's episode is super important, although there is a lot of discussion around reaching out for help if you are suffering, there isn’t a lot of communication around what you should do if you are the person supporting a family member or friend through their struggles. It can often be a hard and overwhelming position to be in, so I interviewed psychologist Patricia Gallagher about how we can best navigate these situations without sacrificing our own health.
