NSMOMS TOOLKIT

Practical resources for caregivers during difficult moments

You are not alone.

This toolkit was created by caregivers for caregivers. It brings together practical resources, sample letters, reading materials, videos, and support tools for families caring for loved ones living with severe mental illness.

How to use this toolkit

The resources below are intended to help caregivers prepare, communicate clearly, document concerns, and advocate respectfully when systems become difficult to navigate.
