Carers
We recognise that caring for someone with MD can be exhausting and lonely. Our group also aims to support carers.
Unless otherwise stated, all of our
meetings are equally open to carers and people with the condition. At the Hilltops meetings, we often split into two groups - one of carers and the other of people with the condition. This gives carers the opportunity to have a discussion between themselves. Many find that helpful.
We are delighted that Making Space is now providing a support service in Cambridgeshire for mental health carers. Call them on 01480 432504 for support, advice andinformation. You can also email: Pauline.Mansfield@makingspace.co.uk
Their project workers are experienced in supporting carers and can offer you support at a mutually convenient place and time.
There is also advice the South Cambs Mental Health website.
Lifecraft and Directions Plus also help carers.
Rethink (formerly National Schizophrenia Fellowship) is for carers of all serious and enduring mental health problems. To contact the Cambridge Branch, ring David Jordan on 01354-655786 during office hours or 01354-652042 after hours.
