• Someone actively caring for a person with
mental illness
• May be a family member, friend or someone
who has a significant role in the person’s life
• May not be living with the person
• The caring role may vary over time according
to the needs of the person and the carer
Consumer: someone living with mental illness

Research shows carer involvement improves:
• Consumer participation in treatment
• Psychological treatment outcomes
• Medication adherence
• Relapse rates through early identification1
State and national mental health policies recommend:
• Carer involvement in treatment programs1,2
• Health services provide carers with information and
education about treatment interventions1,2

Compared to the general population, smokers with
mental illness:
• Smoke more heavily and are more nicotine dependent1,2
• Die approximately 25 years earlier than non-smokers3
• Are less likely to be offered professional quit smoking support1,2
• Are as ready to quit, but may find it more difficult1,2

• People exposed to second-hand smoke have:
- Higher lung cancer risk1
- Almost the same heart disease risk as smokers1
Carers and other family members are at increased risk due to higher smoking levels
• Increased stress on carers due to ongoing nicotine withdrawal symptoms, e.g. agitation, tension, anxiety
• Increased financial stress due to the rising cost of tobacco

Quitting with a mental illness can be more challenging for
consumers due to:
• Heavier smoking and higher nicotine dependence1,2,3
• Chronic stress1,2,3
• Fewer social supports / cognitive impairments4
• Fears that quitting will exacerbate mental illness5
