Assisting Clients and Their Families Cope With Mental Health

Abstract

An individual diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D) typically relies on medical professionals for support and assistance. The family of the person with T1D is an important source of emotional support. While medical doctors are frequently the primary service provider, counselors may be better equipped to provide the emotional support needed for adjustment. Through acknowledging key aspects of the diagnosis and its symptoms, counselors can support patients with T1D and their families psychologically in the adjustment process.
