This topic needs to be discussed openly, but also in a safe manner
How to talk about mental health in an open but safe way?
We have been emphasizing for some time that it is important to naturalize the discussion on mental health: everyone talks about physical health, but avoids talking about mental disorders.
Talking about the topic is extremely important and we need to speak in a direct, welcoming way and without denying the suffering of others. We can show that there is a way out, that there are possibilities, and that suffering is never forever. And it is very important that this person seeks help, tries to talk about what he feels and that he has the support of people he trusts, that he can receive support from his networks of contacts and that, possibly, he can have the support of a professional of mental health.
How can you help? You must listen, without judgment, without neglecting the suffering, and demonstrate that this suffering can have a way out and that you are there to welcome and exchange as much as possible with this person.
