FORBOW works with families to prevent the cycle of mental illness through early detection and intervention.

To date over 300 families from across Nova Scotia have participated in this study. Some families have a history of mental illness while other families do not have a history of mental illness.

Enrolment is open to all Nova Scotian families with children aged 9-24, especially those with a family history of mental illness.

You can self-refer to the program.
A doctor’s referral is not required.
