Whether it be a close friend, a family member or someone you are just getting to know, most people are connected to someone struggling with mental illness to some degree. As a busy student, supporting people with these struggles is a challenging task. We are interviewing Abby, one of our blog creators who has been dealing with a mental health crisis in her family. Abby works two jobs and is a full-time student. Through family counselling and coaching, as well as personal experience supporting a family member with mental health issues, Abby has collected important strategies that can be beneficial to others in similar situations. We hope this blog post gives students who are supporting people with mental health the recognition they deserve… because it’s hard work!
