Family Mental Health Support Services  

Family Mental Health Support Service activities target prevention and early intervention, with a particular focus on Indigenous families and those from a culturally and linguistically diverse background.

All services funded under Family Mental Health Support Services are aimed at:

• developing a sound evidence base and practical framework for early and preventative mental heath intervention in a community context;
• empowering and strengthening families through information, education and skills development;
• developing more effective parenting, relationships and communication strategies within families affected by mental illness;
• improving the emotional health and wellbeing of family members and carers;
• increasing community awareness and understanding of mental health issues and the impact of mental illness on families; and
• improving family functioning and social support for families, carers, children and young people affected by mental illness.
