Helping you support your loved ones through tough times
Being a support person can be daunting, but with the right tools you can walk alongside those you care about and help them through. Clearhead will guide you on how to be the best support person for your loved one’s situation, while also looking after yourself and your own wellbeing.
Comprehensive online mental health first aid training
Your support person wellbeing plan gives you quick, easy lessons and interactive tools that teach you how to approach sensitive topics. You’ll also learn how to spot signs of depression, anxiety, emotional distress and many more common mental health issues.
Create a suicide safety plan
Create an effective 7-step suicide safety plan that’s specific to the person you’re supporting. This safety plan will include vital information such as warning signs to look out for, coping mechanisms, and who they can go to in times of crisis. Help your loved one to share the load when they’re feeling distressed and lay down a clear action plan.
Learn when to seek additional professional support
Being a support person can be rewarding, but it can also be tough to know when you need to involve a professional. Your support person wellbeing plan will help you to know when you need to involve professional help. You can easily find a therapist on Clearhead if extra support is needed.
Protect your own wellbeing along the way
Providing support can be an intense and draining experience. Helpful tools such as breathing exercises, our mood journal, and gratitude lessons support you to reset your emotions and keep you topped up so you can continue being a source of support for the people in your life.
