About the Group

Experiencing a mental illness, also known as a mental health disorder, can be very hard on a relationship, especially when you live together. The stress of living with someone with mental illness may reach a crisis level and you may fall into a pattern where managing the mental health disorder becomes the thing around which the relationship is centered. This group is a safe space to discuss potential stressors, daily challenges, coping strategies, helping our loved ones with their symptoms and taking care of ourselves.

Who is it for?

If you're living with someone with mental illness, give this group a try. Although each mental health disorder has its own unique set of symptoms, most partners feel overwhelmed on the journey especially in the early days after symptoms/diagnosis. This is a space to navigate burnout and caregiving stress with others who get it.

What will we talk about?

• Individual challenges and coping mechanisms
• Managing stressful emotions and experiences
• The overwhelm of managing health & financial issues
• Feeling pulled in too many directions
• Parenting together
• Supporting our partners
• Self-care is not selfish
• Asking for, accepting, and giving help
• Finding joy and connection despite the stress
• Finding support together as group

Learn from us & from each other

  • I always wondered what I could do to help my husband and the struggles that come with depression. Once my husband was finally diagnosed, I came here and realized other partners experiencing the same things. “You too?!” is usually my response when listening to your heartfelt experiences.

  • You all have big hearts. Thank you for sharing your stories, hope, and making this partner of a person with anxiety feel a little less lonely.

  • The group was so understanding and listen without judgement. I only wish I would have found it sooner because I no longer feel quite as alone as I used too. Even if my situation with my partner hasn’t gotten better, having you guys here has made my own mental health just a tad better.
