title: ["The family should be prepared to play a role"].
abstract: With the onset of mental illness, families become disorientated. Lack of information, misunderstanding and poor clinical orientation are all challenges faced. The families must be, wherever possible, linked to health care, decisions and projects. Interview with Hervé Mignotte, volunteer at the National Union of families and friends of ill and / or mentally handicapped patients (UNAFAM).
