Families where a Parent has a Mental Illness (FaPMI) - Northern Health

FaPMI co-ordinates a range of group programs for families, and partners with agencies to support families across all ages, including pregnancy, early years, primary and secondary school, adults, and grandparents.

FaPMI works with agencies across Eastern Melbourne to improve support for parents and carers, children, young people, and families. We do this by:

• Building shared understanding through fact sheets, books, and resources
• Partnering with services to co-ordinate and deliver peer support programs for children, young people and parents/carers
• Working with services to improve systems to better meet the needs of families
• Providing training, support and resources including secondary consultation for services who work with families where a parent has an episode of mental ill health.

Family members where a parent has a mental illness, and reside in Darebin and Whittlesea.

This is a free service
