Part of why you say, "If there's anything I can do, let me know," is because you're a great person and you want to help. The other reason you use this particular phrase is you need someone to tell you what you can do, because you have no idea. When someone you care about has a hidden disability-a mental health condition like depression, or a physical condition like rheumatoid arthritis-figuring out how to be supportive can be as mystifying as understanding the "invisible illness" itself. Splatvocate: Supporting People With Hidden Disabilities is here to help solve these mysteries. Take a behind-the-scenes look at what living with a hidden disability is really like. Learn the common mistakes you might make when you're trying to do the right thing ... and see what to do (or say) instead. Get tips and tricks for better communication and cooperation so that you can be the best partner / coworker / friend / sibling / leader / pedicurist (or whoever you are) that you can be!Written by a professional comedian and speaker, Splatvocate is a conversational guide that doesn't get too heavy and will leave you with a little inspiration for yourself.
