Launch of "Mi Networks"

The Mental Illness Fellowship Australia are delighted to announce the launch of 'Mi Networks", a nationwide help service for anyone wanting more information about mental health issues and services to support them - it can be viewed at    www.minetworks.org.au 
Mi Networks will provide a commitment in six key areas.  They are:
A place you feel welcome
We promise to treat you like a person, not a number.  We will always have time to listen, question and discuss.  We want to know how you are, what you need and how we can help.

Peer Support
Many of our staff and volunteers have lived experience: either living with mental illness or as the carers of someone with mental illness.  We are people with similar experiences and we will have some understanding of what you are going through.

Relevant Information
We offer tailored and up-to-date information to assist you, your family members, friends and carers.  If we don't have the information you require, we will help you find it.
Community Networks
We are linked into our local networks and have established strong and supportive working relationships with other services.  We are connected to a broad range of programs, supports and information.

A National Network
We offer a range of one-on-one and group support programs for you, your family members, friends and carers across Australia.  If we can't assist you at one of our locations, we will connect you with someone who can.

Personalised Referral
We will refer you to the services and supports that best meet your needs.  This may be a program we offer or it may be provided by someone else.  We will support you to find the best fit for you.
