Introducing Adina Adina Family Support is a carer respite program of Mental Health Carers ARAFMI Qld Inc. ARAFMI is a not-for-profit community organisation that provides support for carers and families where a member has a mental health problem and/or psychiatric disability. By carer we mean a person who provides ongoing emotional and practical support to a relative or friend (they do not need to live together) who is living with mental illness. Our catchment area begins at the Brisbane river and goes all the way north to Gympie and surrounding areas. At Adina Family Support we assist carers by providing support to the person with mental illness ? enabling the carer to have a break from their role - thus facilitating a rejuvenation time for everyone. We offer a range of planned respite options and encourage families to meet with us to fill out an application form and register with our service to see if we can meet their needs through the most appropriate and beneficial types of respite support. These options can include: An enjoyable stay at Adina House for the person with mental illness; Supported participation in community activities for the person with mental illness (Community Access); Respite support in the family home (In Home Respite); and Flexible support in the event of unforeseen circumstances such as ill health of a primary care giver.
