Helpful Tips for Talking About Mental Health
Starting a conversation about mental health can feel uncomfortable, but the following tips can help make it easier to open up and begin the discussion:
- I’m worried about you. Can we talk about what you are going through? If not, is there anyone you’d be comfortable having a discussion with?
- How can I help you discuss these issues with your parents or other trusted person who is responsible and cares about you?
- What can I help you with? Chores? Laundry? Dinner? Babysitting?
- I care about you and want to listen. What do you want me to know about how you feel?
- Can you think of anyone or anything that has helped you cope with similar situations in the past?
- Sometimes just talking with somebody else who has gone through a similar experience helps. Do you know anyone who has had a similar experience?
