My sister asked me for resources to help her support people better when they’re sick/currently manifesting. Resources for people in a bipolar downswing or depressive episode would be particularly helpful. She’s looking for baseline knowledge, strategies, and shared language, though acknowledging that everyone is different. Has anyone found good resources that they can share? 

(The fact that she asked this and used language that explicitly acknowledges that mental illness is a disease made me cry.)

Going to crosspost w a few other places.
