We believe that clear, reliable, practical information is vital. That’s why Mental Illness Fellowship Victoria has developed a comprehensive range of 35 free mental health fact sheets covering:

• understanding of mental illnesses including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression and psychosis;
• useful information for people with mental illness and their families and friends;
• insights into the connections between mental illness and drug and alcohol use;
• personal accounts from people with mental illness and those offering care;
• models explaining causes and symptoms of mental illness, including Victorian legal and healthcare frameworks.

The fact sheets are easy to read, practical, short and full of information.

Better yet, a fact sheet explaining how mental illness is understood and how the mental health system operates

in Victoria – the mental health fact sheets are available in English, Arabic, Mandarin, Italian, Greek, Vietnamese and Spanish.
