When you or someone you know lives with a mental illness, it may sometimes seem as though you're alone. The Family CARE community is comprised of parents, youth and professionals that know what you are going through. Through support groups you will find strength, encouragement, hope and friendships from those who have been through or are currently going through similar life experiences.
You may be the friend of someone who is experiencing emotional challenges and are not sure how to help. The support of a friend is sometimes the determining factor of whether or not someone will seek out help. The National Campaign "Mental Illness: What a Difference a Friend Makes" provides information and support for friends like you. Please visit www.whatadifference.org to get more information.
