Supporting Mental Health and Wellbeing for All Supporting Mental Health and Wellbeing for All
By: ARAFEMI Victoria
 
What is this appeal for?
ARAFEMI is a non-profit community based organisation, which works from a recovery perspective. It is unique as it houses both the peak support agency for carers of people with a mental illness and a broad range of consumer services.

Our mission is to promote and improve the wellbeing of people affected by mental illness

ARAFEMI supports a holistic approach to mental illness, where the active symptoms of illness are only one part of the difficulties encountered by people experiencing mental illness and their families. Understanding and support from family and friends, community awareness, lessening of stigma, access to secure, affordable housing and supportive assistance at a tie of exacerbation of symptoms, all contribute to the wellbeing of people who experience mental illness and those who care for them.


How will the funds be used?
With your help we can provide additional services through our Family Support Program which desperately needs funds for its Helpline, support groups and education activities/ Funds are also needed to support our ongoing delivery of recreation activities for people with a mental illness living in our community housing.

Key areas of expenditure for funds donated:
  • Carer Helpline, information and referral service
  • State-wide carer education
  • Recreation and community living activities for people with a mental illness
Is this appeal tax deductible? Yes
Will I receive a receipt for my donation? Yes, though it will be delayed as it is sent by ARAFEMI Victoria
