Impact on Families<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t<\/iframe>\n\tProduced by: Laura Sansom<\/em><\/p>\nIt can be incredibly hard for a parent to see their child living with a mental health condition.<\/p>\n\t<h3>How to Have a Conversation With a Loved One About Mental Health<\/strong><\/h3>\nFrom the perspective of someone <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nami.org\/find-support\/living-with-a-mental-health-condition\/disclosing-to-others\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">living with a mental health condition<\/a><\/em>:<\/em> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Have a gameplan going into it <\/b>– Any athlete knows that without the proper gameplan, they won\u2019t be able to defeat their opponent. In this scenario, the individual is the athlete and this conversation about your mental health condition is what you\u2019re trying to conquer. One way to squash your anxiousness is by writing out what you want to say beforehand. This way, you\u2019ll know what it is that you want to accomplish by talking to a friend. <\/li>\n<li>Start by setting the tone <\/b>– When you\u2019re talking to a friend or family member about your mental health, try not to just dive into the conversation right from the get-go. Starting the conversation by saying \u201cI want to talk to you about something important that\u2019s been going on. I\u2019m not necessarily asking for advice but I just need someone to listen. Is that okay with you?<\/li>\n<li>Be as specific as possible <\/b>– If the friend or family member you\u2019re talking to doesn\u2019t live with a mental health condition — or even if they do — it is best to give them as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.talkspace.com\/blog\/therapists-guide-talking-friends-family-about-mental-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">specific an example as you possibly can<\/a>. This can help your friend begin to get a feel for what you\u2019re going through. <\/li>\n<li>You don\u2019t need to share everything <\/b>– If you don\u2019t feel comfortable talking to your friend or family member about every explicit detail of what you\u2019re feeling, you don\u2019t have to! Use your best judgement and view each conversation with a friend on a case-by-case basis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nFrom the perspective of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentalhealthamerica.net\/conditions\/time-talk-tips-talking-about-your-mental-health\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">friend:<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Listen – The best thing you can do for a friend or family member who is opening up to you about a mental health condition they are living with is to listen to them — not just hear them — and show your concern. <\/b><\/li>\n<li>Watch your body language <\/b>– Like in most scenarios in life, your body language sends louder messages than the words you say. If you\u2019re slouching, looking the other way, etc., you are going to give off the impression that you don\u2019t care, you don\u2019t believe them, or that their feelings are invalid. Try to maintain focus and eye contact as best you can. <\/li>\n<li>Try not to compare their experiences with your own – Two people living with the same mental health condition could feel two completely different ways, so don\u2019t assume you know how they feel.<\/b><\/li>\n<li>Don’t gossip <\/strong>– This conversation you are having with your friend or family member should not be public knowledge, unless they tell you that you can tell other people in our friend group, family, etc. If it is a dire situation and you\u2019re extremely concerned for your friend\u2019s safety, tell a professional or an adult but in any other scenario, keep this conversation between you and your friend.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nWritten by: John Williams<\/em><\/p>\n\t<meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"http:\/\/magnifymentalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Relationships-Impacts-Kelly-1.mp4\" \/><meta itemprop=\"thumbnail\" content=\"\" \/><div style=\"width: 100px;\" class=\"wp-video\">\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-209-1\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" preload=\"none\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"http:\/\/magnifymentalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Relationships-Impacts-Kelly-1.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/magnifymentalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Relationships-Impacts-Kelly-1.mp4\">http:\/\/magnifymentalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Relationships-Impacts-Kelly-1.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n\tProduced by: Kelly Bush<\/em><\/p>\nRelationships with friends can take a toll on your mental health the story above showcases how important awareness and support is.<\/p>\n\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/330391939\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\tProduced by: Rahmere Griffin<\/em><\/p>\nMany people living with a mental health condition often find it difficult to share their diagnosis with their family members because of fear and stigma.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t<meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"http:\/\/magnifymentalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Families-Landing-Page.mp4\" \/><meta itemprop=\"thumbnail\" content=\"http:\/\/magnifymentalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Mar-28-2019-15-12-52.gif\" \/><div style=\"width: 100px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-209-2\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" poster=\"http:\/\/magnifymentalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Mar-28-2019-15-12-52.gif\" preload=\"none\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"http:\/\/magnifymentalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Families-Landing-Page.mp4?_=2\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/magnifymentalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Families-Landing-Page.mp4\">http:\/\/magnifymentalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Families-Landing-Page.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n\tProduced by: John Williams<\/em><\/p>\nThe family is a critical support system for every individual.
