Navigating relationships can be challenging at the best of times. When one partner is living with a mental health challenge — or when you’re supporting another loved one, such as a child or an older parent — the pressures on a relationship can increase. Communication may feel harder, stress can build, and it’s common for couples to feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to support each other while managing day-to-day demands.

Helping Minds understands the unique dynamics mental health challenges can bring into a relationship. Our specialised family support provides a safe and supportive space for both partners to explore what’s happening, strengthen communication, and develop practical strategies to navigate challenges together. We respect the uniqueness of every relationship, prioritise listening, and support you to build skills that help you feel more connected and confident moving forward.
