Family Guide to Mental Health

Educational Materials

In addition to raising awareness and sharing our findings, one of the aims of the Family Caregiving Project is to provide Educational materials and tools that communities, professionals, educational settings and other groups can use to deepen understanding of the experiences of caregiving families in the context of mental illness. In doing so, we hope that we can promote system changes so that all caregiving families can feel understood and supported as they move through the healthcare system.
