• EUFAMI (European Federation of Associations of families of People with Mental Illness)

  EUFAMI (European Federation of Associations of families of People with Mental Illness) was founded in 1990 at a congress in De Haan, Belgium where carers from all over Europe shared their experiences of helplessness and frustration when living with severe mental illness. They resolved to work together to help both themselves and the people they cared for.

  EUFAMI is a democratic organisation, registered in Belgium as an international non-profit organisation. We have an ongoing commitment to improving care and welfare for people affected by mental illness. We also enable our member organisations to act jointly at a European Level, combining their efforts and sharing experience.
