Do you care for a person with a mental illness?

The Well Ways Program is being rolled out across South East Queensland in 2008.

The Well Ways Program is designed to increase the capacity of families and friends to care effectively for themselves, other family members and their relative living with mental illness.

The program provides a broad and sensitive perspective to the many issues facing families as they manage the impact of mental illness on their lives.

The program consists of 8 x 3 hourly weekly sessions.
