Jewish Care is establishing a support group for the families of those in the Jewish community who live with a mental illness.

The move follows an approach to Mental Health program co-ordinator Susan Wein by a group of concerned parents.

“As a result, we are inviting, parents, siblings and children of a loved one with a mental illness to come together each month for professional support and education,” Ms Wein said.

The group will meet on the last Wednesday evening of the month, commencingFebruary 28.For more information about this and other Mental Health programs, call 8517 5925.
