How do you know if someone is struggling?

How do you know if someone is struggling? Someone who may be struggling: May not recognize it in themselves, May deny they are struggling, May think they are the only one and don’t want to appear “weak” or “less than capable”, May think there is no help or help won’t work anyway, May think it will resolve itself or they can manage it on our own.

How do you know if someone is struggling?

5 common signs someone may be struggling: A sudden or gradual change in their emotions or behavior from how they are normally. More frequent problems controlling their emotions (anger, anxiety, agitation or moody). Withdrawal and isolation from others around them. They stop taking care of themselves, caring about themselves and alienating others. They stop being optimistic about life and become overwhelmed easily.

Talk to someone about what you are feeling and get the help you need. CARE Talk to someone about what you are feeling and get the help you need. Care and encourage others to seek assistance if needed. Access the Employee and Family Assistance Program (EFAP) or other supports. See the MINES for Minds poster and pamphlets for contact numbers.

PLAN Learn about the commons signs of when someone may be struggling Read the MINES for Minds poster and/or talk to a mental health representative.

ACCEPT Sometimes we need some help with our mental health. It’s Ok to reach out for help! Look for signs in yourself and others around you and help them.
