Our Mission: To provide the best possible education, advocacy and support for family/ whānau of people experiencing a major mental illness

We believe that families/whānau / aiga can play a key role in the recovery process for someone who experiences a mental illness.

We use the terms 'family', 'whānau' and 'aiga' to describe anyone who cares for or supports a person experiencing serious mental illness.
