Lived experience must do more than get heard; it must shape decisions.

#EUFAMI calls for meaningful participation, recognition of family carers, and mental health care developed with people and families, not just for them.
Nothing about us without us.

Dr. Leidinger, Rave-Schwank & Kayser at EUFAMI/BApK Forum: families are mental health's "hidden workforce," facing stigma & isolation.
Empowering carers is essential for recovery. Cross-border solutions can break barriers. Unity breaks stigma.

Today is World Schizophrenia Awareness Day 2026.

Schizophrenia is still too often misunderstood and reduced to stereotypes. Behind every diagnosis is a person, and often families quietly carrying care and support without enough recognition or help.

💬 What works in mental health communication? Insights from European good practices

Within the hashtag#MENTALCARE project, partners have identified concrete, field-tested practices that show how communication can directly improve mental health outcomes for patients, families.

🌱🫂Families are at the heart of mental health support, care, and recovery. On the International Day of Families, we recognise the millions of family members across Europe whose care, advocacy, and resilience too often go unseen. Their voices must be included in policy and care.

May marks #MentalHealthAwareness Month. At @EUFAMI, we recognise and honour the vital contribution of families and caregivers in supporting loved ones experiencing mental ill health every day. Their support, advocacy, and care deserve continuous recognition and inclusion.

Today is World Infant, Child & Adolescent Mental Health Day #WICAMHD.

1 in 8 young people in the EU are living with mental health conditions. Yet, many go unheard and unsupported.

Family support is critical to resilience, wellbeing, and recovery.

Support today, and everyday!

Affiliate stigma affects families of those with mental illness, causing shame, guilt, and silence. It weakens support systems and delays care.

🫂 By listening, raising awareness, and empowering carers, we can reduce stigma and ensure their voices are heard and valued.

"Hay que visibilizar la depresión postparto y atenderla. El estigma, al juntarse con la #maternidad y esas ideas de lo que debe ser una buena madre, aumenta y hace más difícil que las mujeres lo cuenten y se les ofrezca ayuda"
