Support is available for the families and the carers of people with a mental illness. ​

The NSW Family and Carer Mental Health Program is a statewide program funded by the NSW Ministry of Health, and delivered in partnership between local health districts, the Justice Health and Forensic Mental Health Network and five specialist community managed organisations:

The program works in partnership to improve the wellbeing of families and carers of people with mental health conditions, and the people they support by:

  • offering education and training packages that teach families and carers about mental illness and its management, including how to help build coping skills and resilience
  • providing information, resources, one-on-one support, advocacy and coordinating support groups 
  • supporting families and carers with additional needs and cultural diversity
  • providing clinical services and delivering health promotion activities.

For further information about the program see NSW Family and Carer Mental Health Program Framework.
