Supporting Families in Mental Illness NZ Inc.

Community Organisation
The mission of Supporting Families in Mental Illness (SFNZ) is to provide the best possible education, advocacy and support for family and whānau of people experiencing a mental illness. We have community based independent SFNZ societies across New Zealand and a National Council of elected volunteers. We believe that families and whānau can play a key role in the recovery process. We use the terms 'family' and 'whānau' to describe anyone who cares for or supports a person experiencing a mental illness. Skilled, professional Family and Whānau support workers form the backbone of our service providing a range of practical interventions at times of crisis right through to recovery . They help ensure the voice of family and whānau is heard when clinical decisions are made.
