Family Assoc For Mental Health
Health Care in Scarborough

For the past quarter century the Family Association for Mental Health Everywhere (FAME) has worked at the community level, offering families empathy, support, knowledge and a compass for navigating the health care system as an advocate for a loved one living with mental illness. FAME supports families, so that they can live their lives and care for themselves and their loved ones, even in the face of mental health challenges. This applies equally to the one in five North Americans who suffer from mental illness and the four in five who are their families, the families we serve. We also acknowledge that overcoming stigma to reach out for support remains one of the biggest challenges with respect to mental health. We understand that families play a critical role in the wrap around process of recovery, social and family relations, and the stress associated with this responsibility impacts their health, careers and financial situations. Our goal is for no family to experience these challenges alone ¿ FAME is here to help.
