Blast from the Past: Arafmi Canada (1979) reaches generations of families and friends today highlighting the ongoing recognition and needs of mental health families and friends.

Back in July 1979 a non-profit foundation known as A.R.A.F.M.I. Inc existed in Montreal, Canada and created a newsletter.

This issue was especially typed up (using a typewriter!) to reach out to professionals and families in other countries and here it is still reaching out to new generations of families and friends today.

“I feel the meetings helped me to be more compassionate and understanding… Human nature being what it is, we do not like to feel alone. ARAFMI has given me hope for the future””- M. Pomerantz.
