Helping A Family Member Is Difficult, Even If You Do Everything "right." No Book, Therapist Or Website Can Tell You How To Prepare For The Situations That May Arise.
Family Members and Caregivers
We realize that the challenges of mental illness do not only affect an individual's family members but also friends, teachers, neighbors, coworkers and others in the community. Here we use the terms family member and caregiver interchangeably to refer to someone giving emotional, financial or practical support to a person with a mental health condition. Whether you're providing a lot of assistance or very little, the information here can help you better understand the issues that you might face.

Caregivers who pay attention to their own physical and emotional health are better able to handle the challenges of supporting someone with mental illness. They adapt to changes, build strong relationships and recover from setbacks. The ups and downs in your family member’s illness can have a huge impact on you. Improving your relationship with yourself by maintaining your physical and mental health makes you more resilient, helping you weather hard times and enjoy good ones.
Redefining mental health & wellness FOR HOME MAKERS
UPMYMIND Programs Deliver Results.
What if everyone in your family had a common language and understanding about their feelings and wellbeing to better navigate the inevitable conflicts and difficult moments at home?
Working With You,
For you, and
By Your Side
Historically, children (and parents) learn core subjects such as English, Maths and Science at school.
But what about our mental health and wellbeing?
This is the BIG missing piece in education.
Learning to Help Your Child and Your Family
Tutoring empowers young people through 1-1 or private group sessions. This programme focuses on educating our children about where resilience is found, why they don’t always feel it, and how they can uncover more of it within themselves. It gives them the knowledge to help navigate life’s inevitable challenges in an easier way.
Parenting course provides essential support for parents and carers with a 10-part practical online course. Aimed at developing psychologically healthy, resilient and thriving families, this course inspires parents with the confidence that the best job in the world can be fun, light and full of joy.
Supporting Your Family Member
How can I be less stressed? What are the causes of happiness? Can I change my relationship to thoughts and emotions?
Taking Care Of Yourself
To be able to care for the people you love, you must first take care of yourself. It’s like the advice we’re given on airplanes: put on your own oxygen mask before trying to help someone else with theirs. Taking care of yourself is a valid goal on its own, and it helps you support the people you love.
Crisis Prevention
No one wants to worry about the possibility of a crisis, but they do happen. That doesn't mean you have to feel powerless. Many healthcare providers require patients to create a crisis plan, and may suggest that it be shared with friends and family. Ask your loved one if he has developed a plan.

Maintaining a Healthy Relationship
To get started on a better path in your relationship with your family member, first acknowledge that you can’t change them, only yourself. But the changes you make can improve your lives together. It’s critical to know as much as you can about their illness so you understand what they may be going through.
