Reply To: mental health and the frum community

i agree that the stigma is less than it was 10 years ago, but i still see ppl waiting much too long to get help. for example, i might see a parent or a couple miss the yellow flag and the orange flag, and only go see help when there’s a dangerous red flag, and they have no choice, because they simply can’t ignore it anymore. how unfortunate. by that time, there’s so much more to undo, so much more to heal, so many harsh words that have been said. and alot of pain. our preventative measures are not strong enough- yes there are chinuch habonim classes out there, but not enough people are choosing them and they are often very expensive, and our chosson and kallah classes are missing important peices. but that wasnt the point of my initial post. why is it that the frum community still does perceive getting help as such a stigma?
