Family Services

We are your resource!!!

• Be good to yourself (for example, schedule time out and away).
• Let go of guilt and shame. The family did not cause the illness.
• Do not be afraid or ashamed to acknowledge that you are a relative of a person with a mental illness. This is the first step in removing the stigma often attached to mental illness.
• Maintain friendships and outside interests.
• Keep your sense of humour and don’t be discouraged by temporary setbacks. Recovery is full of
  uncertainty as situations change.
• Learn from and enjoy the support of others who have family members with a mental illness.
• It is okay to look for counselling for yourself. The stress of living with a family member with a mental illness is often difficult to cope with.
