My family has on the whole little knowledge about mental health. My sister has told me that she’s struggling with some suicidal thoughts. Any advice on how to start up that dialogue with our parents? Any advice on how best to help educate them? I’ve tried to watch some shows and movies that portray mental illness in an understandable/relatable way, but even comedies like Crazy Ex Girlfriend seemed too “dark” for them. Any recommendations of other media with positive portrayals of the mental health process? We both just figure that it might be easier to have a conversation like the one my sister needs if they have something to latch onto beyond cultural hearsay.
