All families and persons affected by mental ill health should at all times be afforded equal rights, entitlements and opportunities that are available to any other member of civil society and should be empowered to participate in the community in which they live.

The role of families
• The central role and rights of family members in the care and treatment of people with mental ill health should be fully acknowledged and provided for throughout Europe. Family carers should be acknowledged as equal partners with professional staff and the person with mental ill health in decisions relating to the planning and delivery of
treatment and care.
• Families and individual family members have a right to choose and define the role they are willing and able to play. This must include the right not to be involved directly with their relative’s care, or to be involved in planning services, campaigning and monitoring services.
• Families should not be discriminated against or held responsible legally or financially for their family member directly affected by mental ill health. State mental health care should be adequate to enable family members of people with mental illness to make their choice without any feelings of personal guilt.
