Family
The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck
The Tie That Binds and Heals: Families' Life Experiences with Mental Illness (Research Study October 2006) Two main goals facilitated this research study: identification of family needs through an exploration of family stressors and coping skills, perceptions of adaptation, and definitions of recovery from the perspectives of family members with a relative experiencing mental illness; and an exploration of availability, family utilization of mental health services, and concepts about causation and recovery of mental illness from the perspectives of family members and mental health professionals.
THOUGHT TO PONDER
Without continual growth and
progress, such words as
improvement, achievement, and
success have no meaning.

Healthy Family Communications
Communication and compromise
are important within family
relationships. Each person has
specific needs and wants --
which conflict often times
with other family member
needs and wants.
Misunderstanding and conflict
often occurs when family members
have difficulty in sharing how they
are feeling ... here are some
suggestions to increase healthy communication ...
You have a voice within your
family -- don't hold it in --
share your feelings.
Be mindful that your actions and
behaviors reflect what you
are trying to express t
other family members.
You do not need to apologize for
what you feel Morin expressing
your needs ... learn to ask and say
no in three sentences
(1) acknowledgement of the other
(2) I feel ... (3) I want ...
or how can we ...
Be respectful of others ... No
judging of other family members,
no put-downs or name calling.
The Golden Rule: Treat others
like you want to be treated.

Wise Mind Connection
You don't choose your family.
They are God's gift to you,
as you are to them.
