Since a major cause of difficulties during a period of unemployment is financial hardship, institution support is crucial to reducing the possible consequences of the loss of a job. Institutional supports may include programs designed to cushion the financial effects of unemployment, such as unemployment insurance, food stamps, help with winter heating costs, and public, industry, etc. or union programs designed to help workers find new jobs. Stress reduction clinics and classes may help people survive unemployment with fewer destructive physical and emotional side effects. When stress triggers serious depression, alcoholism, of family disruption, professional counseling of psychotherapy such as is available at Four Corners Mental Health may help minimize these destructive consequences of unemployment. But more is involved than just finances. The loss of a job can force an unwilling change in how people see themselves. A person who wants to work and cant may see him or herself as one of lifes loosers at a very basic task. ' .

Research has shown that a wifes emotional support of her husband when he is out of work helps make his adjustment easier. Men who get tender, loving care from a wife feel better about their present situation and about the future than men whose wives were indifferent or unsupportive. Families differ in the amount of, functional and emotional support they can muster. Functional support involves doing things to help out. A family with two strong teenage sons who are able to work and a spouse with skills that need only a bit of polishing to be marketable can provide more functional support to a man out of work thap one in which the children are still in diapers and the lady of the house is a harried homemaker.
