In 2003, under the support of New Life Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association and through the training course organised for the family members of service users of halfway houses, family members interested in self-help were identified for a preparatory committee to set up a self-help organization for family, aiming to build up a support network, promote the spirit of mutual help, relieve the stress of family member / carers and enhance their mental health. After one year’s preparation, “Family Network” was registered in 2004 as a self-help organization under the Societies Ordinance of Hong Kong, and the first annual general meeting was held in the same year to elect committee members who would be responsible for the implementation of our service. Family Network was funded by the “Financial Support Scheme for Self-help Organizations of Persons with Disabilities / Chronic Illnesses” of Social Welfare Department in 2014. Family Network has now more than 500 members.
