Project Outputs & Reports

The Family Caregiving Project explored experiences of families affected by mental illness to better understand how to improve policies and services to meet their needs. Although December 2024 marked the end of the reporting on the project, the work continues. Our team will continue to collaborate with policymakers and stakeholders to promote the perspectives shared by families and the materials we have developed. We will also continue to work on academic journal publications.
