This is a question that is commonly asked in my workshops which focus on mental health matters in the workplace. Often, it is very difficult to convince anyone to do anything that they don’t actually want to do – I think we all know this. In this blog post, I offer a few helpful ways which can become useful when trying to convince someone to seek help for depression, whether it be a colleague, a family member or a friend.
Convincing someone to seek assistance for their mental health is a difficult but not insurmountable task. With the right attitude, a lack of judgement and by creating a space wherein a person feels comfortable talking about themselves and their feelings, it is possible to convince those closest to us to seek help in their struggle against mental illness.

Take care everyone.
