This Guide provides practical advice for those managing the challenges of having a loved one who believes in conspiracy theories. It is intended for family members and friends whose loved one’s conspiratorial thinking is placing strain on their mental health, emotional wellbeing, or relationships. It is also designed for helping professionals – like social workers, caseworkers, mental health counsellors, and psychologists – who support individuals affected by someone in their life who believes in conspiracy theories.
