Talking does help…

Men's Health Week raises awareness of the mental and physical health issues affecting men. Feelings such as low mood, stress and anxiety can impact our mental health, and sometimes you just need to talk about it.

Support for Carers

Supporting someone can be rewarding, but the strains and responsibilities of caring can also affect your own mental and physical wellbeing.

You may experience a whole range of difficult emotions such as guilt, fear, anger, stress, worry and anxiety. These emotions are natural and talking about how you are feeling with people who understand can be really helpful.

You can talk to some people who haven’t had any experience of it, but at the end of the day they just don’t understand

Families and friends can become socially isolated and it is important you have the opportunity to socialise and meet other people who understand what it is like to be in your caring role. Using support groups and other opportunities for you to meet and share your experiences with other carers can be invaluable.

As a carers support service we believe in Whole Family Recovery and we are aware of the impact on the whole family when someone is experiencing severe mental health problems.

Different members of a family can be at different stages of their own recovery journey and this can sometimes cause conflict unless it is understood and recognised. We are able to meet you and other members of your family who are also providing support together, or, meet with you individually.

One to One Support

We are able to arrange for a one to one support session to help you to identify your current concerns and to look at some actions that may help you at this time. We can discuss ways of protecting your own health and wellbeing and refer you to other services that are available for you locally.

Support Groups

We have a range of monthly support groups, giving you the opportunity to talk to other carers in a safe and confidential space. If you are interested in going to a support group, please let us know and we can decide which of our groups may be most helpful for you at this time.

Social Activities

We have regular social activities including a monthly lunch, giving you the opportunity to meet other carers in a relaxed and informal environment and giving you a well deserved treat!

June has been Pride Month, a month dedicated to celebrating LGBTIQ+ communities all around the world and their right to live without persecution.

Those of us with LGBTIQ+ identities are more likely to experience a mental health problem because of wider discrimination in society. We may also face extra challenges around getting the right mental health support. And we sometimes have extra needs or concerns.

For more information about mental health support for LGBTIQ+ people please visit the Mind website here: bit.ly/2zjMAL6. ... See MoreSee Less

Do you over think things?
