Inspires me to get my business in order to benefit my adult son.
I have found complete support and acceptance. I am thankful to have found this community
FAMI-A gives unique support, encouragement, and resources.
FAMI-A is another avenue for support for families struggling with a mentally ill family member.
Great resource. Lots of support
I think FAMI has been the absolute best support for us, and I always recommend it for others
FAMI advocates and educates
FAMI is goal oriented
There are so few supports in my home province of Nova Scotia. I find some of the info here very helpful.
Gives you tools to manage loved one and your own mental health
Its a wonderful and informative resource and place to get nonjudgmental support
It is exhausting to be a support to adult children. It is great to see support for these caregivers.
I have referred to FAMI many times, its so wonderful to have people who know exactly what one is going through
there are good resource links
Keep up the Great Work!
Interesting and good information-it connects me as I have a dependent with mental illness
I find the newsletter extremely informative, and I appreciate everything FAMI does!
