Family Support Service

At MIFWA we understand that when a person is diagnosed with mental illness they are not the only ones affected by the diagnosis; carers, families and friends are all involved and need help and support.

Our education program Well Ways is designed for carers and families. Visit the Well Ways page to find out more.

We also offer support through our carer and family support network.

Whole of family approach

Maintaining the health of the family requires that all family members receive support, counselling and a break if necessary so that children, parents, grandparents are not overwhelmed by the disruption and grief that may accompany the onset of mental illness.

Our team of family support workers can advise and work with you. For more information call us Monday to Friday 10am to 4pm on (08) 9228 0200.

We also work with CoMIC (Children of Mentally Ill Consumers) to make sure all aspects of family are covered. Click here to visit CoMIC's webpage.
