The Family Alliance on Severe Mental Illnesses Needs Funds

The Family Alliance on Severe Mental Illnesses, FASMI, was born of an understanding that the family voice that once strongly advocated for those with psychotic illnesses in Canada, has been drastically diminished in recent years. n order to give families space within the dialog regarding the treatment and care of their loved ones with psychotic illnesses, we aim to amplify the voices of Canadian families supporting those with psychotic illnesses.

We are registered as a Canadian Not for Profit and our board drawn from across Canada has been increasing our advocacy self funded. We are working with other organizations and have been putting out regular e-newsletters to politicians in Canada, interested individuals and organizations that treat those with mental illnesses. Our responses range from 50-75% so we are getting the need out. We have also just started a series of video interviews on topics of interest to families.

We plan to increase our activity on behalf of families and are in the process of applying for charitable status. To do that, we need more money.

We are in the process of applying for charitable status. This will cost approximately $10,000.00 in legal fees and are asking that you contribute whatever you can to this GoFundMe appeal to help us achieving that important organizational milestone.

Whatever you can afford to donate will help.
