"How Can I Help My Son with Schizophrenia?" | Tips for Caregivers

Schizophrenia and Bipolar disorder are incredibly difficult for anyone who lives with these illnesses. However, it can also be difficult for the caregivers and family members that support them.

Gabe and I have been planning this video for YEARS!! Every time either of us does a speaking event, we ALWAYS have a family member approach us afterwards to ask how they can better help a friend or family member who is struggling with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or some other mental illness.

"How can I help my loved one with a mental illness?" became such a common question that we decided to make a video trying to share our own perspectives.

We wanted to create a video for caregivers of individuals struggling with mental illness, to watch for tips from advocates and patients!

If this video helps even ONE caregiver, feel less alone in their journey, then it will have served its purpose!

PLEASE share this with any caregivers in your lives. Also, be sure to follow Gabe Howard- @askabipolar on all platforms as well!
