Service Description:A joint initiative between Barwon Health Mental Health and Glastonbury Family Services. The FaPMI initiative offers group programs to address the needs of children whose parents have a mental illness.

Parents with a mental illness can feel isolated and unsupported. The FaPMI Strategy encourages family focused practice through workforce training and networking to ensure timely identification and appropriate referrals to supportive services. This therefore reduces the possible impact of parental mental illness on the family.

The group programs - PATS & Kidz Club - are aimed at adolescents and children aged 10-12 years. These group programs are facilitated by two health/welfare professionals and are free or charge.

Contact Dawn Foster at Glastonbury on 5222 6911.

The emergency and referral phone contact number is 5226 7410 (24 hours).
