Starting a respectful conversation with your loved one
Concern about substance use or mental health can make family conversations feel urgent. A calm approach can create more room for an honest response. Choose a private time when everyone can focus. Describe specific changes you have noticed without assigning labels or blame. Express concern for the person’s health, relationships, daily stability, or responsibilities.
