As part of a national project to raise awareness about first-episode psychosis and support the needs of families affected by the illness, the Canadian Mental Health Association has developed this sibling resource guide – a guide intended to provide information and support to teens and young adults who have a brother or sister experiencing psychosis.
This guide will be of primary interest to brothers and sisters who are new to the experience of psychosis in the family. We also hope it will assist others, such as parents, friends and service providers, in better understanding the challenges faced by this often neglected group of “significant others.”
