Here To Support You And
When someone in your family is affected by a mental illness the whole family is affected.
Caring for a family member or friend with a mental illness can be confusing, frightening, exhausting and isolating. No matter how well-meaning, sometimes your friends and family may not know how to support you. However, you do not have to go through it alone.
There are a wide range of free supports and services available to help all the members in your family, whether it’s you that is affected by a mental illness or if it’s a friend or a loved one that you support
HelpingMinds is only a phone call away, offering a range of free, professional and confidential counselling and support programs.
We have a dedicated team of counsellors, social workers, psychologists, advocates and peer support workers who can share their expertise and their own personal experience of knowing what it is like to have a mental illness or care for someone with a mental illness.
