Primer
Our Primer is a tool for families and friends of those suffering from mental/behavioral health issues that addresses the most common mental health issues facing our clients. The primer is not meant to be a diagnostic tool, but rather a guideline. The purpose of the booklet is to acquaint “newcomers” to mental illness and to give them information they may need to feel empowered to advocate for friends and/or family members who are experiencing mental health issues.
