Facts and Myths of Mental Illness

Are you a caregiver of someone who is living with a mental illness or experiencing mental health challenges? The “Mental Health Caregiver Guide” (PDF, click here) was created for you and it includes helpful tips, tools and information to take care of yourself while taking care of your loved one. While this guide provides general information, the article “Caregiving in the era of COVID-19: What to expect and how to cope” (PDF, click here) takes into account the current situation with COVID-19 and provides more tailored strategies.

In this workshop, you will be introduced to communication skills that have the potential to defuse conflicts and improve relationships. For family members or friends of loved ones with “Emotional Dysregulation” or BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder). To register, and to see a full list of upcoming workshops, click below:
