"What are we supposed to do next?"

As a family caregiver, have you ever sat in shock or disbelief, your head full of questions, and the only one you can get out is, “what are we supposed to do next?”

Me too.

As a loved one of a family member living with mental illness, we play a critical role in supporting their wellness and recovery throughout their life time. In moments of processing an unexpected diagnosis, or managing a crisis, or simply trying to figure out how to be the most supportive person you can be on your loved one’s journey, there are often more questions than there are answers.

Our Family Caregiver Coaching Program is designed to help you walk through many of the big topics that we wrestle with over time

Is coaching the same as therapy?

No, coaching helps you with your goals, but it is not therapy. Coaching is also not a replacement for therapy or other clinical services. If you are navigating your own personal mental health diagnosis, our coaching program may be a helpful companion service to therapy, but it is not a replacement.

What is the time commitment?

Coaching is most effective over time, to help you develop and practice new skills, form new habits, and to encourage you on your goals. We will work together to determine the length of program that best fits your family’s unique situation, and the goals you have established.

Generally, we find that clients see the most benefit from coaching when they actively engage in one hour a week of coaching, with three to five hours of homework each week, for a minimum of six weeks.
