Create strategy for supporting families of people with mental health conditions

Petition Details

We want more affordable & accessible mental health care & education for families on how to support without enabling or burning out! This could include funding support groups specifically for caregivers, and establishing workplace policies that support & recognise caregiving stress & reduce stigma.

Additional Information

Mental health conditions don’t just affect one person, they can affect the entire family!
We talk a lot about awareness but not enough about real support. People living with a range of mental health conditions need consistent affordable access to therapy, medication, crisis services and understanding communities. Yet their immediate families need support too.
Family members often become caregivers overnight. They carry a range of feelings and exhaustion usually in silence
