Dealing with mental health issues when it comes to a loved one can be extremely difficult not only on them but on you and your family. Learning what you should do and what you should not do to help anyone one with a mental illness can get super complicated. The guilt we feel can be so consuming, wanting to save them can turn into codependence, which is not healthy for anyone.  Today Chalene will give you her thoughts on this sensitive topic. Without going into too much personal information she will share with you some advice or points that she has discovered herself and has put into practice while dealing with her own loved one that suffers from mental illness.  Please remember Chalene is not a mental health expert or a therapist. These are just her own personal thoughts and opinions, just think of this as a venting session with a close friend.      Change Your Business, Change Your Life…IN JUST 3 DAYS!
