My 35 year old son is an angry person who has drastic emotional ups and downs. He is currently unemployed with no health benefits. How can we get him help?
Hello! If your son is unemployed with no health benefits perhaps it would be beneficial for him to go to your local Social Services Department so he could try to obtain some health insurance and see what other services he would be eligible for. If you would like to talk about this or anything else further please feel free to reach out to 2NDFLOOR anytime via text/call 24/7 at 1(888)222-2228.
I think a good way to communicate to your son would be to boost his self-esteem and try to talk to him in a way that uplifts him. People tend to avoid and dislike conversations that involve them causing issues or being a problem. Your son might not necessarily feel proud to be unemployed, which might explain why he shows anger towards others and maybe even to himself. If there is someone who can also intervene as an objective 3rd party, like a friend, then I think that could help as well.
This is a safe space to share what's on your mind and to get support from real people.
