EUFAMI perspective towards person-centered care
Main Article Content
Abstract
The European Federation of Associations of Families of People with Mental Illness (EUFAMI) is a not-for-profit organisation based in Leuven, Belgium. It was established in 1992 as a follow-up to a meeting of family members which took place in De Haan in Belgium. The membership of EUFAMI consists of 48 family organisations from across 28 European countries and represents more than 7,000,000 families in Europe. EUFAMI’s founding principle is a commitment to improve the care and welfare for all persons who are affected by mental illness – including families and carers.
