About this event

Safe space for carers in London Borough of Greenwich who care for someone with mental illness.  NOTE: Due to the covid-19, the support group will be run via Zoom.

Note: You have to be an unpaid carer to join.

About this Event

The carer peer support group allows carers who care for someone with metal illness to network and provide a safe confidential environment to share stories and experiences.  

The group looks to encourage unpaid carers across greenwich to reduce isolation, support each other and build a network.

Supporting and caring for someone with mental health needs can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience, but also stressful and lonely. We feel carers from different backgrounds should not have to cope by themselves.

The next Greenwich MH Carer support group is run via the online software called ZOOM.

The Carer peer support group aims

• Help you to open up about what you are feeling and experiencing.
• Introduce you to ideas and approaches that others have found helpful.
• Reassure you that you're not alone in how you are feeling.
• Help you to connect with others and give you a sense of belonging.
• Encourage you to value your strengths.
• Seeks to Build your self-esteem and confidence.
• Help you to feel more hopeful about the future.
