About the event
Caring for Carers is a support and skill-building group.
This group was created to help bridge the gap in services and help support carers. Due to the lack of services available carers often end up in the position of supporting loved ones through their Mental Illness. We have found that individuals who are caring for someone with a Mental Health diagnosis are often caring for others in their lives. In our more recent groups, our conversations have grown and we recognize that the role of "carer" is often never-ending.
This group is led by Carly Crawford (and other Registered Psychotherapists) and is a combination of skill-building and support type group. In this group, we start with a group check-in and introduce a topic that pertains to taking care of YOU as the carer.
Examples include:
-Self Compassion.
-Carer Guilt
