Family Alliance for
Mental Health Recovery
Where love leads action
The Family Alliance for Mental Health Recovery was founded by a group of parents whose children were diagnosed with serious mental illness (SMI) or with psychosis. It includes people who have been diagnosed with SMI or psychosis, their family members and friends, and allies.
A psychiatric diagnosis does NOT mean changing one’s life plans, abandoning one’s dreams, being unable to have a family, or living as a chronically ill or disabled person. Recovery happens more often than most people realize. Family support plays a key role.
Many people with scary diagnoses like "schizophrenia” or “bipolar” recover and/or live meaningful and successful lives.
Everyone’s path to recovery is different:
Some use medications, and some don’t;
Among those who use medications, some take them regularly, others only on occasion.
There are three common threads to all success stories, though
