Family Resource Centre
The Family Resource Centre (FRC) is a dedicated, therapeutic space for families to share knowledge, access resources and connect with other families for support and encouragement.
Families play an important role in their loved one’s journey of recovery but often the emotional problems experienced by the relatives of people with a mental illness are not addressed. The impact of mental illness on families and loved ones can be overwhelming and long lasting.
We identified the pivotal role of loved ones and integrated them into the recovery process. The FRC is a valuable resource for families focused on helping them build on their strengths, support their crises, help them manage the challenges of this journey and enhance their quality of life.
