Tips to do-it-yourself in mental health care

Would you know where to go or what to if you needed mental health resources? Would you know where to turn if a family member exhibited behaviors of a mental illness? Who would you ask for help?
Unfortunately, many individual, families, and caretakers are uninformed about the mental health system and sadly have no one to turn to. Sadly some mental health professionals aren’t aware of where to go either or have no idea of what your needs are. This is why I encourage you to do it yourself.
