I care about someone with a mental illness.

What can I do to help?

• Accept the diagnosis without placing blame.
• Educate yourself. Learn the facts about symptoms and treatment to alleviate your fear.
• Remember, despite symptoms, this is the same person you care for.
• Know that there is help and hope for your loved one.
• Continue to offer love and support.
