  • Schizophrenia
  • Bipolar Disorder (Manic Depression)
  • Depression
  • Anxiety Disorders
  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
  • Eating Disorders
  • Personality Disorders
  • Dementia-Related Disorders
  • Addiction
Support for families coping with mental illness & addiction support
Helping our children
While many children who have a parent with mental health and/or addiction issues do well, these children are at increased risk of a number of poor health and social outcomes, including developing mental health and/or addiction issues themselves.  A significant issue for many of these children is that they tend to take on higher levels of responsibility than is appropriate for their age, which can lead to normal everyday childhood developmental and social experiences being overlooked.  This can have a range of consequences, including anxiety, isolation, low levels of health and emotional wellbeing, limited friendships, difficulties developing intimate relationships, low participation and achievement at school and in employment.

These risks can be reduced.

Research shows that early intervention and prevention strategies are effective in improving short and long term outcomes for this group of children.  Mental Health and Wellbeing Support facilitates children's groups, and individual youth support, which are designed to help support children and youth who have a family member with mental health and/or addiction issues.
