At Arafmi, we have an ongoing plan to provide services to help support carers, their families, and volunteers who care for people with mental health issues. As part of this plan, Arafmi is showcasing the different lived experience narratives of mental health carers.
Becoming Visible is an opportunity for carers not only to share their stories and experiences, but also to talk about what is missing in the current systems, what would help and what needs to change. Our intention is for it to be a platform that will open up a meaningful dialogue with politicians and decision makers about what is needed to achieve positive change for everyone.
Arafmi acknowledges Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Nations peoples of Australia and recognises their continuing connection to country, waters, kin, and communities. We pay our respect to Elders past, present and future and are committed to ensuring that Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples voices are heard and respected across Queensland.
