Knowledge Forum: When a Loved One Resists Help

  • NAMI Orange County Via Zoom (map)

Supporting a loved one who resists help can feel overwhelming and isolating. In this presentation, Dr. Brian F. Licuanan offers practical insight and reassurance for family members and caregivers navigating this challenge.

Learn key “must-knows” that can shift perspective and reduce self-blame, including how recovery works, why it takes more than willpower, and the role of hope and brain change. This session also encourages caregivers to care for their own well-being, release guilt, and focus on what they can control.

Walk away with a clearer understanding of what helps, what doesn’t, and how to support your loved one while supporting yourself.
