Strengthening Families Together 

Strengthening Families Together (SFT) grew out
of the strong belief that Canadians have a right to consistent educational information on serious
 mental illnesses regardless
 of where they reside.

SFT is a 5 session education program for
family members and friends
of individuals with serious
 and persistent mental illnesses.

The goal of SFT is to provide information on the topics associated with living daily with a mental illness for families and friends of individuals with schizophrenia and other related disorders.

Topics presented include:
• Schizophrenia and mood disorders
• Mental illness, addictions and
   the criminal justice system
• Treatment options
• Living with mental illness
• Understanding the mental health system
• Coping as a family
• Advocacy and support
