You can call me Kathryn. I too have family members who have a mental disability, and have had for some time now. It can be difficult to know how to support someone or how to have that conversation about their mental health, but I have found resources on beyondblue and Mental Health First Aid Australia to be absolutely wonderful. I even ordered paper copies of some of the beyondblue resources, which have been great to have on hand to refer to, so I definitely recommend browsing the beyondblue site! It's great to see you here, it means a lot that you are reaching out to find out more about mental disability <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span> Wed, 04 May 2016 12:06:01 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/hello-there/m-p/141310#M8612 KathrynJaneway 2016-05-04T12:06:01Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/hello-there/m-p/141311#M8613 <P>Hi Peter, </P> <P>Welcome, please check out the forum for family and friends, but make sure you look at the rest too, I have found interesting things everywhere here.
