When someone you care about is experiencing mental distress
Almost half of us will experience mental distress and/or illness in our lifetimes. It can feel scary to offer support to someone - a partner, a friend, a family member - when they are experiencing mental distress. But offering caring and empathetic support can make a big difference.
This resource discusses how you can help, what the pathway is to find treatment and support, and how to look after yourself in the process.
