Understanding the scope of mental health needs in our community.
We accept most major insurance plans. Verify your coverage in minutes.
Fill out the form below and our admissions team will verify your benefits within minutes. Most clients start treatment within 24–48 hours.
Your information is secure and confidential. We’ll never share your data.
Supporting someone through mental health challenges requires patience and compassion. Here are evidence-based approaches to help.
Learn about their condition — depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health conditions are medical issues, not weaknesses. Understanding destigmatizes treatment.
Use “I” statements: “I’ve noticed you seem to be struggling and I care about you.” Listen without judgment and validate their feelings.
Normalize seeking help. Therapy and medication management are tools for wellness, just like seeing a doctor for any other health concern.
Trailhead offers individual family therapy sessions and monthly Zoom education groups. Families learn how to support their loved one’s mental health journey.
Supporting a loved one with mental health challenges can be draining. Maintain your own wellbeing, set healthy boundaries, and consider therapy for yourself.
Offer to make the call together, drive them to an appointment, or help with insurance verification. Sometimes the first step is the hardest — your support matters.
Our family support program is open to all family members 18+, past and present clients.
Call for Family SupportIt’s common for people struggling with mental health challenges to resist treatment. This doesn’t mean recovery is impossible — patience and the right approach can make a difference.
Pressuring someone rarely works. Stay connected, check in regularly, and let them know you care without making treatment a condition of your relationship.
Share information gently. Mention that treatment is confidential, flexible, and designed to fit their life — not disrupt it. Sometimes the idea needs time to take root.
Express concern with empathy. Focus on what you’ve observed and how you feel, rather than labeling or diagnosing. “I’ve noticed you seem to be struggling, and I want to help.”
Boundaries protect your own wellbeing while showing that you care. You can support without enabling avoidance of treatment.
If there’s immediate danger — suicidal thoughts, self-harm, or risk of harm — call 911 or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline immediately.
Our admissions team can guide you through next steps, offer resources, and help you prepare for when your loved one is ready to take the first step toward treatment.
