About Us

History

ARAFMI has a prime focus on providing support for families, carers and friends with mental health issues. This is based on the principle of mutual self-help and support, to build the capacity of families and improve their quality of life. The first ARAFMI group was formed in Sydney in 1975.
The movement spread quickly and ARAFMI became the primary provider of services to families and friends of people with a mental illness in Australia (see ARAFMI Links for how to contact ARAFMI in each State and the Northern Territory).
