Know someone suffering from mental illness and aren't sure how to communicate with them? Not sure what a diagnosis means and want to understand it? Need help figuring out how to get help? Those are the types of questions I'm offering to answer. Send me a question with your proposal and I'll reply with as thorough an answer as I can think of and/resources so you can learn more.
Training & Qualifications
I am certified in Mental Health First Aid and thus trained to know appropriate responses to someone in crisis. I also have personal experience dealing with depression, anxiety, and PTSD, and am personally familiar with a number of other mental illnesses through conversations with a diverse set of acquaintances. I am NOT certified as a doctor or therapist and cannot provide a diagnosis. I can, however, help you locate appropriate professional services in your area if needed.
Availability & Preferences
Any time. I'll get to answering as I can.
