Information and counselling platform Living with Schizophrenia
The information platform Living with Schizophrenia includes an extensive collection of questions frequently asked by relatives and caregivers of people with schizophrenia. The answers are contributed by those with schizophrenia, as well as relatives and professionals, who share their experiences, opinions and knowledge.
In addition, accessible online counselling supports relatives impacted by the illness. The advisers include people who have coped with and overcome similar situations themselves. This approach fosters a rich tapestry of perspectives and allows ample room for individuals to share their wisdom and experiences.
Living with Schizophrenia is a project run by the Guido Fluri Foundation in collaboration with the Pro Mente Sana Foundation, Vereinigungen von Angehörigen psychisch Kranker (Associations of Relatives of the Mentally Ill), Netzwerk Angehörigenarbeit Psychiatrie (Network of Family Involvement in Psychiatry), and Selbsthilfe Schweiz (Self-Help Switzerland).
