07.01.2022 Vale Jack Kelly - It is with great sadness that we let all who knew Jack that this great, wonderful man has passed away. Jack was President of ARAFMI Hunter Board for many years. Jack worked tirelessly on the board of ARAFMI Hunter and also on NSW board. Along with his wife Brenda he ran a support group for carers at Maitland for many years.... Funeral service will be held at Holy Family Catholic Church, John St, Largs on TUESDAY, 29th October, 2019 at 1pm. Jack will always be remembered in the hearts of all he helped and always by his ARAFMI (Association of Relative and Friends of people with Mental Illness).

07.01.2022 Yep sure know what Grace is talking about - makes us cranky too. We report the numbers because governments tell us that we need to be accountable and they need to ensure they are getting good return on their investment. The numbers alone will never tell them about the investment our counsellors make. And it sure isnt the numbers that make us feel good at ARAFMI. We understand how hard it is for families and individuals to keep their families and life together when a loved one is experiencing mental illness. Can you help Grace by naming the people or organisations who helped you in crisis, and what that help meant to you? Click into her post below on NFP Connect and make a comment.
