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, including tax benefits that are available to family carers and also for people who need care, 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.
