Financial: Future Care
Planning for the future care of an adult relative with a mental illness can be so daunting that many families delay. But early planning means decisions won’t have to be made in the emotional turmoil of a crisis. For information about securing your loved one’s future, please explore the information on our site HERE, or contact one of the organizations below.
When a ‘resource’ is a person (for example a notary), it does not necessarily suggest an endorsement, but rather a recommendation to explore further (expertise, cost, etc).
Please note: AMI-Quebec helps families cope with mental health problems and illnesses in a loved one. We cannot provide financial advice. Please contact the organizations below for help.
