Mental Health Carers ARAFMI NSW Inc (ARAFMI) operates a carer Information and Support Line which provides carers of people living with mental illness information about mental health services and a range of carer support services and support groups right across New South Wales.
‘For me, the Information and Support Line was not just a telephone support line, it was hope,’ said Joanne, 45. Her husband suffers from depression and she is looking after three young kids,
‘I was so desperate at that time; the feeling of helplessness was dragging me down. That’s when I found ARAFMI’s support line number. The voice on the end was patient and told me about a few options where I could seek both emotional and practical support. Just by talking to them I felt relief and I saw hope again.’
