First priority?

I know this rarely happens, but yesterday I had a deep conversation with my mom. Long story short, it was about my family's current condition. It all started around 3 years ago, but is getting worse througout these last 2 years. I basically had no idea what to do about it, nor know whether there is actually something i can do to help anyway. 

Happily, there was the answer;

'Put him on your first priority'
