Family Match Program

Do you have a family member with mental health issues?

Do you feel alone and overwhelmed? We can help.

Taking care of someone with a mental health issue can be isolating and overwhelming. We can connect you with free, one-on-one support from one family member to another, by telephone. Our program matches you with someone whose family member has a similar diagnosis or situation. Our mentors have “been there,” where you are, and are ready to provide emotional support.

Your Mentor will call you to

  • Provide emotional support.
  • Listen to your story.
  • Share experiences.
  • Share ideas for taking care of yourself.
  • Share ideas for advocating for your loved one across the mental health systems.

“My mentor is awesome. When I needed the strength to get through the next 5 minutes, she would listen and say, ‘Yes, that sucks.’ She didn’t try to solve, or to minimize. She listened, and she talked about similar experiences, and how she got through them. There was nothing I could say that she hadn’t seen, done, or been through before…there was a lot of comfort in that.” — Karen, parent
