When your child is struggling with mental illness, the silence around you can be deafening!

In this Reality Check episode, Tripp Friedler shares the deeply personal story of his son Henry—his experience with bipolar disorder, the isolation families often face, and the urgent need for more empathy, earlier intervention, and open conversation.

This isn’t just his son’s story. It’s a family story. And one that echoes across so many homes.

Recovery starts with believing it’s possible — and being met with support that believes in you, too!

Psychosis can be part of someone’s story, but it’s never the whole story...

With early care, connection, and compassion, people are healing, growing, and reclaiming their lives every single day.

And no one should have to walk that path alone!

Not every mental health struggle looks the way you THINK it will! ⬇️

Psychosis doesn’t always show up as a dramatic break—it often starts with subtle shifts that are easy to miss or misunderstand.

But noticing these early signs can make all the difference...

Remember: Early detection leads to BETTER outcomes!

Let’s break the stigma TOGETHER — comment or share to help others learn.

The biggest barrier to early intervention? MISINFORMATION.

Myths about psychosis don’t just create confusion—they delay care, increase stigma, and isolate the people who need support most!

Let’s change that...

If you could debunk one mental health myth forever, which would it be? Let us know in the comments.

What if getting the RIGHT help earlier could change everything?!

Psychosis can feel scary — but it doesn’t have to mean a lifetime of struggle! With early intervention, recovery is not only possible, it’s PROBABLE.

That’s why we exist: to bring treatment, education, and support to the people of New Orleans BEFORE it’s too late.
