Mental health families & friends TASMANIA provides systemic advocacy from a carer/family perspective drawing upon lived experience to improve mental health services and the well-being of carers. Mental health carers are central to everything we do at mental health families & friends TASMANIA. Our purpose is to make sure the voices of mental health families and friends are heard. We work with families and friends to support them and to champion their needs and aspirations. In order to be effective, we need to ensure that our approach to engagement is appropriate, inclusive and influential.
We provide input into state and national research, policy review and development. We are active members of TASCOSS and Mental Health Carers Australia.
You may also wish to contribute to the Sane Hocking Community Grant Survey. The research project aims to support the introduction of best practice community-based carer support services throughout Australia, and empower those caring for loved ones with complex mental health issues.
