Observing changes in someone close to you can be a vital first step toward offering support.

Certain behaviors, especially if they are recent, escalating, or associated with a traumatic event or loss, may suggest that the individual is struggling.

If you are worried about someone you care about, help is available around the clock through the 988 Lifeline.

Contact can be made by calling, texting, or chatting at 988. Further information is available at https://bit.ly/4gO1icv

Some warning signs may help you determine if a loved one is at risk for su***de, especially if their behavior is new, has increased, or seems related to a painful event, loss, or change.

Caregivers of children and adolescents with mental illness often bear a substantial yet unseen load.

Family members, educators, and youth professionals commonly report persistent worry, fatigue, and uncertainty as they seek to meet the complex and varied needs of these young individuals.

NAMI Minnesota affirms that caregiver well-being is essential, not optional. To provide support, NAMI Minnesota is offering a free virtual workshop, Self-Compassion for Caregivers: Supporting Yourself While Supporting Youth with Mental Health Challenges, on Monday, February 2, from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.

This sixty-minute session is designed to introduce caregivers to practical, research-supported self-compassion tools applicable to real-world caregiving scenarios.

Amy Noelle will lead the workshop, drawing on her expertise in burnout mitigation and resilience development. As part of NAMI Minnesota's SuperWeek, this workshop complements a broader range of free educational offerings focused on mental health advocacy and support.

Further details can be accessed at namimn.org/superweek2026 NAMI Minnesota underscores the importance of caregivers prioritizing their own well-being as a critical aspect of sustaining hope and providing effective support for young people.
