Good morning and thank you for the opportunity to share with you information on HelpingMinds during Mental Health Week.

HelpingMinds was formerly known as Arafmi and is the pre-eminent mental health services and carer support organisation, that was established nearly 40 years ago as a not for profit charity in Perth, Western Australia.

We have a professional and compassionate team of staff and dedicated volunteers who provide quality, confidential  support and services to children, youth, adults and families who are caring for someone with a mental illness or individuals who are affected by a mental illness.

The majority of our services are free of charge and focus on: advocacy, understanding the mental health system, education, counselling and support, school holiday programs and respite.  Visit our website for more information www.helpingminds.org.au
