Carers Programme

The project offers a range of activities including one-to-one support, 24/7 telephone support line, representing carers at local mental health committees and producing a regular newsletter.

Why they need our service

Carers of those with schizophrenia and other severe and enduring psychotic illnesses are often isolated and unsure where to gain help and support--the Rethink project seeks to help. The number of carers accessing our help increased by around 10% in 2010/2011.

Plan and expected results

The project has been running for several years and has a clear structure of events, information flow and crisis support delivered by people who themselves have experience of the issues the carers face.
