Carers in Mind provides support for adults caring for adults with mental health issues. It doesn’t matter if the person you are caring for has a mental health diagnosis or not, or if they are accessing services.
A carer is someone giving unpaid support to another person, who could not manage without their help. Often this is family member or a friend. You may be providing emotional, practical or financial support. The support you are giving may be having a negative effect on your own wellbeing.
You may not realise you are a carer, or consider yourself to be a carer even if you are supporting another person. Are you perhaps concerned about your partner’s mental health and want to speak to someone about how to help?
No matter who you are, the Carers in Mind team is here to support you in your role and journey as a person supporting someone with their mental health (otherwise known as a carer).
We can help you through one-to-one support sessions, educational workshops and social activities in which you get a chance to meet other people in a similar position and peer support.
If you or the person you are caring for lives in the borough of Richmond, you can self-refer using our client registration form.
