Safe space for carers in London Borough of Kingston, Merton, Richmond, Sutton and Wandsworth. The peer group is for those who care for someone with mental illness.  NOTE: Due to the covid-19, the support group will be run via Zoom.

About this Event

The carer peer support group allows carers who care for someone with metal illness to network and provide a safe confidential environment to share stories and experiences.  

The group looks to encourage carers to reduce isolation, support each other and build a network.

Supporting and caring for someone with mental health needs can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience, but also stressful and lonely. We feel carers from different backgrounds should not have to cope by themselves.

The South West London Carers support group is held usually every last monday of the month from 4:00 pm till 5:30 pm via the online software ZOOM.
