CARERS … Do you feel confused, exhausted or overwhelmed? Do you have trouble coping and need more information? Do you feel you would benefit from talking with another carer, being understood by others or simply having a social outlet?
If you answered yes to any (or all!) of the above, then the Brimbank Carers Group is for you.
The Brimbank Carers Group aims to provide carers with support, information and understanding and knowledge to cope with and manage mental illness and the effects it has on others.
The group allows carers to:
- Take time out from their caring role
- Talk openly and freely with others who have had similar experiences
- Learn about the relevant services and how to access them
- Develop friendships and combat isolation
The group achieves these aims by holding meetings that may include:
- Guest speakers
- Community outings
- Information sharing and support
- Dinners
- Relaxation and stress management
New carers are always welcome to join the group, and there is no cost involved.The Brimbank Carers Group meets on the first Tuesday of every month.
Next Meeting: 7pm Tuesday 7 February 2012 at Harvester Clinic (Sunshine) For further information, or to join please call (03) 9365 9500 or email
