    Jacy Fisher & Legal Planning for Mental Health: What Parents & Caregivers Should Know
    Dec 2 2025
    Caregivers · Legal Planning & Mental Health Jacy Fisher & Legal Planning for Mental Health: What Parents & Caregivers Should Know Hosts: Kelly Poelker & Delisa Richardson | Guest: Jacy Fisher, Esq. | Category: Parents, Caregivers & Legal Basics What happens when mental health, family life, and the legal system collide? In this powerful conversation, attorney and Judge Advocate Jacy Fisher joins Kelly and Delisa to unpack what parents and caregivers need to know about guardianship, involuntary commitment, power of attorney, long-term planning, and more. Whether you’re raising a teen, supporting an adult child, or caring for a loved one with serious mental illness, this episode offers clarity, language, and options you may not have heard before. What You’ll Learn Why legal decisions around mental health are really about protection, not punishment.What rights parents have when seeking mental health care or hospitalization for a minor — and where those rights hit real-world limits.How things change legally when a child becomes an adult, and why planning before age 18 (or 19 in some states) matters.The basics of adult guardianship and conservatorship — and when courts are most likely to grant them.Less-restrictive alternatives like powers of attorney and supported decision-making agreements.What an involuntary commitment really is, how the process works, and what rights the person in crisis has.How tools like special needs trusts, supplemental needs trusts, and ABLE accounts can protect benefits while still supporting quality of life.Practical ideas for starting hard conversations about legal planning with teens and young adults. Guest Spotlight: Jacy Fisher Jacy Fisher is an attorney and Judge Advocate (JAG) in the Alabama Air National Guard whose work bridges family law, criminal defense, estate planning, and advocacy for vulnerable individuals and families. With a background in psychology and a J.D. from Southern Illinois University School of Law, she brings both legal expertise and deep compassion to the families she serves. In her civilian practice, Jacy handles heirs’ property and real estate litigation, family law, criminal defense, estate planning, and probate — and has earned a reputation as a passionate advocate for heirs’ property landowners and people navigating complex systems with limited support. Jacy is also a sought-after speaker and educator, training communities and fellow attorneys on topics like guardianship, special needs planning, estate planning, and laws affecting servicemembers and their families. At the heart of her work is a simple belief: the law should protect people, not leave them behind. Key Quotes “The goal of guardianship and commitment isn’t punishment — it’s protection. We’re trying to keep someone safe when they can’t safely do that for themselves.” “Parents often feel powerless, especially when a child turns 18. Planning ahead doesn’t take away your child’s autonomy — it can actually preserve it in a safer, more thoughtful way.” “You don’t leave assets directly to a loved one with a disability if that will cost them their benefits. Tools like special needs trusts exist so they can still have a life with joy, travel, and dignity.” “If we can talk about it, we can manage it. Legal planning around mental health is hard — but pretending we’ll never need it doesn’t protect anyone.” Resources & Next Steps Learn more about Glow For Hope resources988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline InformationInternational crisis support directory (findahelpline.com)Curious about guardianship, POA, or trusts?

  • 10 Essential Tips for Supporting Someone With Mental Illness (Without Losing Yourself)

    10 Essential Tips for Supporting Someone With Mental Illness (Without Losing Yourself)
    Nov 25 2025
    Glow For Hope: Sparking Conversation on Mental Health 10 Essential Tips for Supporting Someone With Mental Illness (Without Losing Yourself) Hosts: Kelly Poelker & Delisa Richardson | Guest: Host-Led Conversation | Category: Caregivers, Suicide Prevention, Mental Health What happens when you’re the “strong one” holding everyone else together while someone you love is living with mental illness or suicidal thoughts? In this host-only episode, Kelly Poelker and Delisa Richardson share 10 essential tips for caregivers and supporters so you can show up with compassion, protect your own peace, and remember you’re not alone in the process. What You’ll Learn Why healthy boundaries are a form of love—for you and the person you’re caring for.What “caregiver burden” looks like, and how it can impact your own mental and physical health.Key warning signs of suicidal ideation and why asking directly about suicide does not put the idea in someone’s head.How to keep communication open without going straight into “fix-it mode.”How crisis and safety plans work, and why they help reduce panic in the moment.Simple, realistic self-care practices for overwhelmed caregivers in the “sandwich generation.”How to celebrate small wins—for both the person you’re supporting and for yourself.Why giving yourself grace matters when you don’t have perfect words or answers. Guest Spotlight In this special conversation, hosts Kelly Poelker and Delisa Richardson step out from the interviewer role to talk directly to caregivers, parents, partners, and friends who are walking alongside someone with mental illness or suicidal thoughts. They talk honestly about being on constant “high alert,” the emotional and physical toll of caregiving, and the myth that you have to do it all on your own. Drawing on lived experience and research, Kelly and Delisa unpack ideas like caregiver burden, boundaries, safety planning, and the importance of sleep, nutrition, and support systems—especially for those in the “sandwich generation” caring for both older loved ones and kids or grandkids. Their message is clear: you can love someone fiercely without losing yourself, and your presence matters more than perfection. Key Quotes “You can care deeply for somebody and still protect your own peace. Boundaries are not barriers—they’re protection for you and the person you’re caring for.” “You are not solely responsible for saving someone’s life. If they’re in crisis, you don’t have to handle that alone—reach out to professionals and crisis support.” “You can’t pour from an empty cup. Taking care of your own mental health strengthens your ability to help others.” “You won’t always have the right words or perfect answers. Loving someone in pain is brave work—your presence matters more than perfection.” Resources & Next Steps Explore Glow For Hope tools, breathing exercises, and mental health resources: glowforhopenfp.org/resources988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (U.S.) – Call or text 988 or chat online for 24/7 support: 988lifeline.orgCrisis Text Line – Text HOME to 741741 to connect with a trained crisis counselor: crisistextline.orgNAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) – Education, support groups, and resources for families and caregivers: nami.orgAFSP – Signs of Suicide – Learn more about warning signs and how to talk about suicide safely: afsp.org/signs-of-suicideFind a therapist or support group in your area: psychologytoday.com Next Episode Join us next time as we continue to spark honest conversations around mental health, bringing you real stories, practical tools, and supportive voices to help you feel less alone—whether you’re the one struggling or the one holding space.
