Hi Peter, nice to meet you. You can call me Kathryn. I too have family members who have a mental disability, and have had for some time now. It can be difficult to know how to support someone or how to have that conversation about their mental health, but I have found resources on beyondblue and Mental Health First Aid Australia to be absolutely wonderful. I even ordered paper copies of some of the beyondblue resources, which have been great to have on hand to refer to, so I definitely recommend browsing the beyondblue site! It's great to see you here, it means a lot that you are reaching out to find out more about mental disability 🙂

Hi Peter,
Welcome, please check out the forum for family and friends, but make sure you look at the rest too, I have found interesting things everywhere here. I look forward to seeing you around the forums.
Rob.
