The Families where a Parent has a Mental Illness (FaPMI)
Strategy
Parents with a mental illness can feel isolated and unsupported.
The FaPMI Strategy encourages family focused practice through workforce
training and networking to ensure timely identification and appropriate
referrals to supportive services and so reduce the possible impact of
parental mental illness on the family.
