Brianna Reinhold, a licensed counselor in Maricopa and owner of Northern Lights Therapy, explains persistence is key to helping a loved one experiencing a mental-health crisis.
“Don’t take no for an answer,” Reinhold said. “You’re going to get pushback.”
That pushback may come not only form the person needing help, but also from a potential care provider.
Reinhold said when the pushback comes from a care provider, don’t give in to it.
“Keep pushing. If you don’t like that answer, go to the next (provider),” she said. “Find somebody that will sit there and walk you through it, and don’t be afraid to ask questions if you don’t understand.”
