Finding, forming and nurturing long-term, loving relationships can be difficult for all. However, for those who experience mental health conditions, it may be extra challenging. Whether they are romantic, friendship or familial, relationships can be rocky, but they are navigable and they can have a joyful outcome as well.
To further explore this topic, please join us this Friday, February 26th at Noon PT (3pm ET) for our next Brain Waves episode titled Relationships for People with Mental Health Conditions. One Mind President, Brandon Staglin will host an engaging conversation with Jessie Close, sister of Glenn Close, and author of the book Resilience: Two Sisters and a Story of Mental Illness, and her son, Calen Pick, an artist who lives with schizoaffective disorder. Singer/songwriter, composer and poet Emily Maguire will weigh in on the topic and perform her song "Start Over Again".
