In this episode of the No Shame On U Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Michele Nealon, a licensed clinical psychologist and President of The Chicago School, to explore how we can better support the people we care about who are struggling with mental health challenges. Drawing from her extensive experience in clinical practice, academic leadership, and global mental health advocacy, Dr. Nealon shares practical insights on recognizing the subtle signs of mental health struggles, having those difficult first conversations, and navigating resistance with compassion.

We dive deep into the most common mistakes people make when trying to help, effective frameworks for different relationships in your life, and how to maintain healthy boundaries while being supportive. Dr. Nealon introduces us to the CARE Model —a practical framework for approaching loved ones with concern:

  • Choosing the right moment and setting,

  • Acknowledging what you have noticed,

  • Reflecting concern with compassion, and

  • Engaging in supportive dialogue.

    This step-by-step approach helps take the guesswork out of those crucial conversations.

Whether you're concerned about a partner, child, friend, or family member, this episode provides actionable strategies for breaking through stigma and creating meaningful support that truly makes a difference. Join us for an honest conversation about mental health, resilience, and the power of informed compassion.
