For Families

How to Help a Loved One with a Mental Health Condition

Supporting someone with a mental health condition takes patience and understanding. Here’s where to start.

1

Educate Yourself About Mental Health

Mental health conditions are medical conditions, not character flaws. Understanding how anxiety, depression, and other disorders work helps you respond with empathy rather than frustration.

2

Listen Without Trying to Fix

Sometimes the most helpful thing you can do is listen without judgment. Resist the urge to offer solutions or minimize their experience. Validation goes a long way.

3

Encourage Professional Help

Gently encourage your loved one to seek professional treatment. Offer to help with logistics — making calls, verifying insurance, or driving to appointments. Removing barriers makes it easier to say yes.

4

Explore Family Therapy

Trailhead offers monthly family education groups via Zoom plus individual family sessions. Understanding how mental health affects the whole family is essential to healing together.

5

Take Care of Your Own Health

Your mental health matters too. Consider individual therapy, NAMI Family Support Groups, or other resources for families supporting a loved one with a mental health condition.

6

Be Patient with the Process

Mental health recovery is not linear. There will be good days and setbacks. Consistent support, even when progress seems slow, makes a meaningful difference in your loved one’s recovery.

Our family support program is open to all family members 18+, past and present clients. Call (857) 312-1697
When They Say No

What If They Refuse Treatment?

It’s common for someone struggling with their mental health to resist professional help due to stigma or fear. Here’s how to navigate that.

Path 1
Consider a Professional Intervention
A trained clinician or therapist can help facilitate a conversation about treatment. This process helps your loved one understand that mental health treatment is medical care, not a sign of weakness.
Path 2
Use Motivational Approaches
Rather than ultimatums, use open-ended questions and reflective listening. Express concern without judgment: “I’ve noticed you seem to be struggling — would you be open to talking to someone?”
Path 3
Set Clear Boundaries
Normalize mental health treatment. Share that millions of people benefit from therapy and medication. Sometimes knowing that help is common and effective reduces the stigma barrier.
Path 4
Understand the Stages of Change
People move through pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. Your loved one may not be ready today, but every honest, non-judgmental conversation plants a seed for tomorrow.
Path 5
Know When to Call for Help
If your loved one is in immediate danger or expressing suicidal thoughts, call 911 or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. For non-emergency guidance, our admissions team is available to help even if your loved one isn’t ready.
