This website provides resources for friends of those living with mental illness, including information about common mental health disorders, including causes, treatments, and stories from real people. A toolbox of resources includes videos, fact sheets, and more.

“Too often, friends are the forgotten support mechanisms for those with a mental illness. Your support is crucial and necessary, so it’s important for you to have access to the right information. The resources and the information provided on our website are designed to help you support the ones you love, while making sure you take care of yourself at the same time.”
