Workshops & Information Sessions
The interactive sessions are designed to help carers understand the impact of mental illness on their loved one; how to improve their relationship; how to develop caring skills, and how carers can keep themselves well emotionally in the long run.
There’s also an opportunity to connect with other carers who may be experiencing similar issues and learn from each other. The carer workshops usually go for 2 hours with a short break and are avialble online and face-to-face.
If you’d like to attend one or more of our carer workshops, please call us on 07 3254 1881 or email us at carersupport@arafmi.com.au
