Carers of People with Mental Health Conditions

NEL Mental Health Carers Peer Support Group

Caring for someone with a mental health condition brings unique challenges. The Carers Support Service provides a peer support group tailored to your needs.

This group meets on the second Thursday of the month at:

The Carers’ Support Service

1 Town Hall Square

Grimsby

DN31 1HY

1pm – 3pm

 You can connect with other carers, share experiences, and gain insight in a respectful, understanding setting.

The sessions include:

– Meaningful conversation with people who understand your role

– Practical signposting to local services like Navigo’s carers support, our online support Hub, and Focus SPA 

– Emotional support to help you manage stress and avoid burnout

– Information about different mental health conditions and advice on how you can support someone

– Tools and tips to promote your wellbeing and caring resilience

Navigo plays a key role in supporting carers of people with mental health conditions. Their advocacy services through Cloverleaf help carers and service users have their voices heard.  Navigo also offers Admiral Nurses who provide personalised advice and emotional support to family carers.

At the group, we share relevant details about these services:

– Finding out how to get a carer’s needs assessment or access benefits

– Guidance for crisis support via Navigo’s Single Point of Access (SPA) or text-based help services

– How to access Navigo’s virtual carer workshops and mental health resources

The Carers Support Service has supported unpaid carers for nearly three decades. We offer free, confidential help including counselling, wellbeing activities, peer groups, keyworker support, and practical advice. This peer support group builds on that foundation, offering a safe space to be heard and supported.

Meeting regularly helps reduce isolation. It gives you reassurance, ideas, and emotional validation. You will leave feeling motivated, informed, and connected.

To join or learn more, call 01472 242 277 . You can also email info.nel@carerssupportcentre.com.

There is no need to book, just turn up on the day and you will be made to feel very welcome.
