Advocacy

Empowering caregivers and families facing addiction and mental health challenges

Our specialized initiatives are designed to support the diverse communities that make up FAM and equip families with the tools for the best care possible. These focus areas will continue to expand to include additional issues.


FAM provides advocacy and education resources to help families navigate the demands and challenges of caregiving at the intersection of mental health, substance use disorder, and treatment decisions with confidence.

When it comes to caregiving — especially for loved ones facing mental health and addiction issues — education is the foundation for informed and empowered decision making. Caregivers and those they care for deserve access to the full range of options and information to best support their health and wellbeing.
