The newly launched Mental Health Carers Connection Program provides assistance to people in the North of Canberra caring for someone with a mental illness. In addition to assistance such as respite support, advice, referral and counselling, this program also offers social support and peer support events such as quarterly mingle evenings and biannual 'gatherings'. These gatherings are specifically designed to provide mental health carers with a chance to experience time away from their caring role and meet with other carers in a relaxing setting.
The first scheduled gathering will be held on the 20th/21st of November at Murramarang National Park and an expression of interest to attend this gathering is available through the Carers ACT webpage. Spaces available now.
