Mental health - Carers services
If you are looking after someone who is
experiencing mental health needs then there are people you can
talk to, who can provide you with support.
We can provide support if you are caring for
someone affected by long and enduring mental health needs.
Support available
We can provide a listening ear for
those that need it and can provide ongoing emotional support.
Further support can then be provided in a range of things
including practical help, information and advocacy.
The focus is on you as an individual with the
aim to determine what your specific needs are.
Training programmes and occasional workshops
can also be accessed to assist you in your role and equip you with
strategies to help you.
There are also support groups, so carers can
get support in a confidential environment and talk to others who
understand.
There are also a variety of social activities
that some carer’s organisations provide.
