The Family Alliance on Severe Mental Illnesses (FASMI) is a Canada-wide organization, incorporated under the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act. Our goal is to strengthen the family voice advocating for those with psychotic illnesses in Canada. We know that family involvement and support are an integral part of better clinical outcomes when it comes to the recovery and stability of those with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and related illnesses. We want to make sure that families can access education and support they need to help their loved ones - and that the family voice is heard. 

​

For those who have time, this lecture by one of our directors, Dr Richard O'Reilly, explains why the mental health system has failed families and what families can do about that.
