Rethink Carers’ Support Group

*Who are we?

This local group has been set up to help carers of relatives, partners or friends with a wide variety of mental health problems, to access help and information and to provide comfort and support on a regular basis.

We can help in several ways:

• By enabling you to meet people with the same sort of problems that you may come across
• By our informal group discussions that may provide valuable information
• By occasionally hearing guest speakers
• By putting you in touch with carers with direct experience of caring for people with severe mental illness

 What do we offer?

• Telephone support
• Monthly newsletter
• Monthly meetings
• Guest speakers on mental health issues
• National and local campaigning for improved mental health services
• Carer representation on local planning and monitoring groups

 

Meeting details

We meet at 7.30pm on the third Tuesday of each month except August.

 Meeting place

The Canterbury Umbrella Centre,

St Peter’s Place, Canterbury, Kent.  CT1 2DB
