Do you have a relative or friend living with a serious mental illness?
Would you like to learn more about his/her illness?
Strengthening Families Together, a ten-week program for families and friends, provides information, skill building, and support.
Delivered by family members who have direct experience with the psychiatric illness of a loved one, and enhanced by invited speakers with topical expertise, Strengthening Families Together is a Canadian-based educational program focusing on:
- Facts about psychosis, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression
- Early intervention & recovery
- Treatments & supports
- Coping with the challenges of daily life
- Navigating the mental health system
There is no cost to participate in the Strengthening Families Together program. Each Strengthening Families Together session runs for 10 consecutive weeks (not including statutory holidays), and two hours are allotted on a single day each week (with a break half way through).
