Support Groups

AMI-Québec's support groups provide a warm welcome for caregivers and those suffering from mental illness, helping them to better understand and cope with the implications of the illness on their everyday life. They are particularly important for family members, as the right sort of family intervention has been shown to improve patient functioning and even delay or prevent a relapse. Support groups have proven to be a beacon of light during times of crisis.
