Its purpose is to assist mental health consumers and carers to:
· Connect to useful and trustworthy information about medication and other treatments for mental illness;
· Choose the most appropriate and cost effective treatment (medicine or other) to suit their lifestyle, and;
· Develop the knowledge and skills required to use medications appropriately, safely and to their best effect.
