Family Support Services
Statistics indicate that 1 in 5 people will experience a mental health issue in their lifetime and the Leeds-Grenville Branch recognizes how mental illness can affect both the individual who is diagnosed and the family. We also recognize that in many cases, family members end up providing primary care to their loved ones, and how stressful that can be. In response to the family’s need for education and support regarding mental illness, the Leeds- Grenville Branch is pleased to offer its Family Support Services.
Services provided
- individual support
- informal support groups
- education on mental health and the mental health system
- referrals to other services
