Factsheets for siblings

When your brother or sister has been diagnosed with a mental illness, you will have lots of questions and concerns, and these may change as you get older.

Our factsheets have been written with the help of Rethink Mental Illness' expert advice and information team together with siblings to provide information you may need now, and in the future.
