Family Support
The Family Support Program provides confidential support to family members, friends and caregivers of a person with schizophrenia or a related disorder. The program offers individual consultations with program staff (over-the-phone or in-person), family consultations with a program coordinator and regular family support group meetings. The Family Support Program also facilitates Strengthening Families Together, an annual 10-week educational series for caregivers of a person with schizophrenia.
Recovery is possible.
Many who experience prolonged mental illness are not only recovering from the mental illness, but are also recovering from the losses associated with mental illness, and from its stigma and discrimination: loss of friends, income, safe and affordable housing, vocational and recreational opportunities, health, and hope of recovery. SSA provides hope and the realization that recovery for a quality life is possible!
Please contact your local branch for more information.
