Family Peer Support

Support for families with a young person experiencing complex life challenges by a peer with both lived carer and professional experience with mental health.

APTF Family Peer Support offers both short term and ongoing support options for families.

  • Provides advocacy through the maze of the professional mental health system and related services.
  • Recognises the impact and trauma experienced by families when their young person is experiencing complex life challenges.
  • Ensures the recovery journey includes what all family members need to feel supported.
  • Short term recommendations and referrals to specialist mental health and related services through Kirstie’s vast experience in the mental health service sector according to your needs.

“It is great to know that there is someone I trust by our side to ensure all members of the family feel supported and stable on each step of the journey. Thanks so much Kirstie”

"Your well informed and non-judgemental disposition coupled with your total understanding from all angles makes you a "life raft in chopping seas'."

"Kirstie's holistic approach to care is needed for people with complex needs."
