Families and friends of people affected

Mental illness affects around 20% of Australians every year, but it is treatable. This pamphlet and accompanying podcast answers commonly-asked questions about the effects of mental illness on the families of people affected, and how they can be supported to help the person and themselves. The term ‘family’ is used in this pamphlet to describe any relative or friend who cares about the person with a diagnosis.
