Mental Health Carers’ Support

Do you care for or support a relative who has mental health problems such as Bi-Polar disorder; Schizophrenia; Clinical Depression; Eating Disorders?

Carers Lewisham has a worker who support carers who are caring for relatives who have mental health difficulties and carers who themselves may have mental health difficulties such as anxiety or depression.

The worker Jey, can provide one to one emotional and practical support as well as running a monthly drop in at the Carers Centre on the 1st Wednesday of the month 10.30-12.30.

You can also get support online on our Mental Health Facebook Group.

Our Facebook groups provide a safe environment where cares can exchange experiences and seek support when needed. The groups are closed and moderated so only carers registered with us can participate, and all inappropriate posts are deleted. You also need to be registered on Facebook to be able to participate. All posts within the group are private and will not show on your wall. There are training sessions available for carers on Facebook and Twitter, have a look at our Events page or the latest newsletter for updated dates.
