ABOUT AMAFÉ

What is AMAF?

AMAFE, Spanish Association for Support in Psychosis, is a national, non-profit entity, registered in the National Registry of Associations, declared of Public Utility since 1996 and certified in Quality according to ISO 9001.

AMAFE, was established in 1989 by relatives of people with mental illness who felt the need to establish an Entity that could give a comprehensive and effective response to issues related to the mental health of their loved ones. Since that date it has been progressively increasing its social base with the incorporation of new members. Currently, it is made up of more than 600 members, who in turn represent thousands of families with a member affected by psychosis or schizophrenia.
