Hot Topics: Losing relationships through mental illness
Mental illness not only affects the person living with it, but their friends and family as well. Have you had a parting of ways with a friend? Has one of your family members withdrawn from you? In this Hot Topics event, we talked about how we can cope with losing relationships through mental illness and ways to bridge those strained relationships.
This is a recording of a Facebook Live event from 2022. Our Hot Topics series consisted of live, online presentations featuring specialists in various fields, including AMI staff, doctors, community workers, and more. The hosts interacted with viewers who sent in live questions and comments while watching. While this recording was made some time ago, it still contains a lot of helpful information. Please keep in mind, though, that some links or discussion topics may no longer be relevant.
If you need help because you have a loved one living with mental illness, or if you are dealing with mental health challenges yourself, please visit https://amiquebec.org or call 514-486-1448.
