Supporting a Friend or Family Member with Mental Health Problems

For Friends and Family Members

Anyone can experience mental health problems. Friends and family can make all the difference in a person's recovery process.

You can help your friend or family member by recognizing the signs of mental health problems and connecting them to professional help.

Talking to friends and family about mental health problems can be an opportunity to provide information, support, and guidance. Learning about mental health issues can lead to:

Improved recognition of early signs of mental health problems

Earlier treatment

Greater understanding and compassion

If a friend or family member is showing signs of a mental health problem or reaching out to you for help, offer support by:

Finding out if the person is getting the care that they need and want—if not, connect them to help

Expressing your concern and support

Reminding your friend or family member that help is available and that mental health problems can be treated

Asking questions, listening to ideas, and being responsive when the topic of mental health problems come up

Reassuring your friend or family member that you care about them

Offering to help your friend or family member with everyday tasks

Including your friend or family member in your plans—continue to invite them without being overbearing, even if your friend or family member resists your invitations

Educating other people so they understand the facts about mental health problems and do not discriminate

Treating people with mental health problems with respect, compassion, and empathy

How to Talk About Mental Health

Do you need help starting a conversation about mental health? Try leading with these questions and make sure to actively listen to your friend or family member's response:

I've been worried about you. Can we talk about what you are experiencing? If not, who are you comfortable talking to?

What can I do to help you to talk about issues with your parents or someone else who is responsible and cares about you?

What else can I help you with?

I am someone who cares and wants to listen. What do you want me to know about how you are feeling?

Who or what has helped you deal with similar issues in the past?

Sometimes talking to someone who has dealt with a similar experience helps. Do you know of others who have experienced these types of problems who you can talk with?

It seems like you are going through a difficult time. How can I help you to find help?

How can I help you find more information about mental health problems?

I'm concerned about your safety. Have you thought about harming yourself or others?

When talking about mental health problems:

Know how to connect people to help

Communicate in a straightforward manner

Speak at a level appropriate to a person's age and development level (preschool children need fewer details as compared to teenagers)

Discuss the topic when and where the person feels safe and comfortable

Watch for reactions during the discussion and slow down or back up if the person becomes confused or looks upset

Sometimes it is helpful to make a comparison to a physical illness. For example, many people get sick with a cold or the flu, but only a few get really sick with something serious like pneumonia. People who have a cold are usually able to do their normal activities. However, if they get pneumonia, they will have to take medicine and may have to go to the hospital.

Similarly, feelings of sadness, anxiety, worry, irritability, or sleep problems are common for most people. However, when these feelings get very intense, last for a long period of time, and begin to interfere with school, work, and relationships, it may be a sign of a mental health problem. And just like people need to take medicine and get professional help for physical conditions, someone with a mental health problem may need to take medicine and/or participate in therapy to get better.

Today I gave up, once again, on studying. Not having time for mental-health self-care during work time takes its price.

I wonder how bad the exam result will be.

And I wonder why I still keep going on like this, I think I'm actually pretty dumb.

Did You Know? Access to Green Spaces is Vital for Health

Did you know that access to green spaces and outdoor recreational activities is essential for physical and mental health? Yet, many communities of color face environmental injustices and limited access to parks and green spaces.

Green spaces, such as parks, forests, and gardens, offer numerous health benefits, including opportunities for exercise, stress reduction, and social connection. Spending time in nature has been shown to lower blood pressure, reduce stress levels, and improve mood and mental well-being.

However, communities of color often bear the brunt of environmental injustices, such as pollution, industrialization, and urban sprawl, which can lead to a lack of access to green spaces and outdoor amenities. This disparity not only affects physical health but also exacerbates mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and social isolation.

According to the NIH Article, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8621109, there is a direct correlation between individuals who have limited access to green spaces and a decline in mental and physical well-being. Having green space available in urban spaces promotes individuals to want to be outside, and get active, the colors and the greenery help promote relaxation and relieve stress and anxiety levels. The study also showed an increase in overall satisfaction in individuals who have access to green spaces versus those who don't.

Due to the disparities and limitations often faced by the communities of color, due to lack of resources, and limited access to transportation, these individuals often live in the inner city areas due to the proximity of having access to their essential needs, living in these highly populated areas also means more buildings, apartments, concrete, more traffic, and less space for green space. Individuals in these spaces were more likely to suffer from anxiety, depression, and increased stress levels, as well as increased feelings of loneliness.

The studies also showed there has been a relationship between exposure to green spaces and cognitive development. Exposure to green spaces helps promote overall growth and development in areas of communication, problem-solving skills, emotional regulation, and increased concentration abilities.

As we observe National Minority Health Month, we can see the many benefits of green spaces for our communities. Let's advocate for equitable access to green spaces and outdoor recreational opportunities for all communities. By investing in parks, community gardens, and green infrastructure, we can create healthier, more resilient neighborhoods and promote the well-being of all residents.

Nothing Special

Check out ROCK's writing n The Vocal!

Photo by Magnus Polla, Fjärås,Sweden copyright2023 There are few people who make us feel special, something most humans crave at some point in their lives.
