Atareira advocates for timely and appropriate intervention to relieve stress and worry for family, whānau and friends supporting someone with experience of mental illness.
Involving families provides benefits that can often be vital to a person's recovery. Families can provide information and perspectives that can enhance the services provided.
Section 7a of the 1992 Mental Health Act requires clinicians to consult with family and whānau.
