FAMHALY: Empowering Families, Championing Mental Health

 

FAMHALY, Families Advocating Mental Health and Local Youth, stands as a beacon of hope and support for families navigating the complex landscape of mental health. We believe that families are the strongest allies their loved ones can have, and we empower them to be vocal, informed advocates for their well-being and the well-being of their communities.

 

At FAMHALY, we understand the challenges families face. From navigating complex diagnoses and treatment options to advocating for resources and dismantling stigma, the journey can be overwhelming. We are here to walk alongside families, providing them with the tools and knowledge they need to become effective advocates.

 

Our focus is twofold:

 

1. Empowering Families:

• Education and Resources: We offer workshops, support groups, and educational materials that equip families with the knowledge and understanding they need to make informed decisions about their loved ones' care.

• Advocacy Training: We train families to be effective advocates for their loved ones, teaching them how to navigate systems, communicate effectively with healthcare providers, and ensure their voices are heard.

• Peer Support: We provide a safe space for families to connect, share experiences, and offer one another encouragement and understanding.

 

2. Strengthening Communities:

• Stigma Reduction: We work to break down the stigma surrounding mental health by raising awareness and promoting education within communities.

• Policy Advocacy: We advocate for policies that improve access to mental health services, promote early intervention, and support families with their loved ones' care.

• Community Partnerships: We collaborate with other organizations and service providers to build a comprehensive network of support for families and youth.

 

FAMHALY is more than just an organization; it's a community. We believe that families are not alone, and that together, we can create a world where mental health is understood, supported, and championed.

Join us. Be a voice. Be a changemaker.

​

Together, let's build a brighter future for families and mental health.
