The Family Caregivers Advisory Committee’s vision is that families (and other supporters) will be provided with all the relevant information, education, guidance and support needed in a culturally sensitive way, so they can best help ill relatives throughout the course of their illness.
The hardships that come with long term care often affect the caregiver’s own well-being. Proper support therefore, is required so that families can exercise their responsibility as caregivers while maintaining the integrity of their own well-being.
The committee’s mission is to help create conditions that will promote full and meaningful lives for people diagnosed with mental illness and for their families and friends who often serve as their primary support network.
The committee plans to ensure the Commission’s work prioritizes families along with people with a mental illness.
