When someone you love needs you, how do you make room to be there—without putting your job at risk?

When someone you love is struggling with their mental health, stepping away from work to be there for them is often exactly what you want to do. But figuring out how to do so logistically, financially, and emotionally can feel overwhelming.

US federal and state laws provide important job protections for caregivers, including flexible options for taking time off that can fit your needs, whether you're navigating a mental health crisis or providing ongoing care. This workshop will help demystify these protections and benefits so you can better understand what may be available to you.

You'll leave with a clearer understanding of your rights and options, where to find additional information and support, and practical guidance for starting the conversation with your employer.
