Shannon Ashley, I hope you know about NAMI, a nationwide organization that offers free support and free classes for people, and their family and friends, dealing with mental health issues. NAMI is the organization that got mental illness to be treated like any other illness by health insurance companies. Visit NAMI’s website for more information. I took their 12 week family course which dramatically helped me help my loved one and get us through a mental health crisis. They have local chapters throughout the country.
