For 25 years the Schizophrenia Fellowship of NSW has been working to improve the lives of people living with mental illness, their relatives and carers, and professionals working in the area. Through a range of programs — including respite services, mentoring, supported accommodation, employment help, a telephone support line, health and wellbeing programs and support and training for carers and families — the Fellowship works towards a society in which people with mental illness are valued and treated as equals. It advocates on behalf of people with mental illness, their relatives and mental health professionals for better government policy, and raises community understanding and support in order to eliminate the stigma around mental illnesses, and encourage people living with these conditions to seek help early.
