Do you have a relative or friend suffering from mental illness? Are you burdened with worry, confusion and anger? AMI-Quebec can help. We offer FREE support and information to help you navigate through difficult times and find ways to improve your situation. Sometimes a support group is the right venue to share your experience and get support; at other times a specific workshop can help. Yet there may be times when individual attention in a counselling setting could be best.

The range of problems people need help with is all too familiar. How to handle the fear a crisis situation can cause; whether it will help or hurt for a hospitalized relative to move back home after discharge; how to reclaim control over one’s life and still be a caring, supportive parent. Behaviour difficulties, communication breakdowns, and exhaustion top the list of family challenges.

Please note that this program is for family and friends of someone living with a mental illness, not for individuals with a mental illness themselves. (If you are struggling with a mental illness yourself, please click here or call us at 514-486-1448 and we will guide you to an appropriate resource.)

An assessment over the telephone will help determine if SOS-Famille could help with your situation. Currently, our sessions are happening online via Google Meet, so it’s easy to attend whether you live in the Montreal area or not. SOS-Famille is available across Quebec, but we can also help English-speaking family members from outside Quebec who have a loved one who lives here.

To assess the best course of action for your situation, or for more information, please call 514-486-1448 (1-877-303-0264 outside Montreal) or complete the form below.
