Clip 7: Social attitudes & policies

Families discuss social support, public education, and government support.

Statistics show that most families are caring for one or more family members living with a mental illness or other long-term health concern. Families wish that the general public had a better understanding of mental illness and caregiving. Families want to connect with each other, and they want to be living in communities that recognize their caregiving and support it adequately with services and supports. (13:03)
