This week after the tragic suicide of dancer Steph This week after the tragic suicide of dancer Stephen “tWitch” Boss, many have been discussing the importance of reaching out to loved ones and friends to check in and express care. This is a great way to cultivate relationships with support and vulnerability!  However, if your loved one is in fact struggling and wants to talk to you, what are some things to consider?  Please keep these things in mind as you talk with them, and remember that listening and communicating care and concern are powerful ways for someone to feel supported!  We hope these dos and don’ts may help! Are there any that you would add to our list?  #mindfulpsychologyassociates #mindfulpsychologyevanston #psychologist #psychologistsofinstagram #chicagotherapists #chicagotherapy #evanston #mentalhealthmatters #listening
