Back to homeFamilies and supporters

Helping someone you care about take the next step.

Support can begin with listening, expressing concern without judgment, and helping the person connect with an appropriate professional.

01

Start with what you have noticed

Choose a calm, private time. Describe specific changes you have observed, ask open questions, and listen without debating whether the person’s feelings are justified.

02

Offer practical help

You might help identify insurance options, locate the scheduling link, create a quiet telehealth space, prepare a medication list, or arrange transportation for in-person care when needed.

03

Respect privacy and autonomy

Adults generally decide who may receive their health information. Rocío and staff can discuss protected information with a supporter only when legally permitted and appropriately authorized.

04

Know when support becomes urgent

Call 911 or seek emergency care for immediate danger, a medical emergency, or severe symptoms requiring rapid intervention. The 988 Lifeline is available for mental-health, suicide, and substance-use crisis support.
