Caring for a spouse or partner with a mental health illness is a different experience to caring for an adult child or other family member or friend. This support group has been created in response to feedback our carers and will be an online space where carers can connect and support each other. 

You are invited to join us for an opportunity to connect with other mental health carers on the Gold Coast and learn about essential supports available to you at the Working Together Forum 2022.

2nd Tuesday of the month, 1:30pm – 3:30pm. Our Cairns Carer Support Groups offers a supportive environment where people have the opportunity to talk about their feelings, help explore alternative ways of coping, offer support to other group members, or to simply listen and observe. Support groups are also a valuable means of informing carers of Arafmi services and resources that are available to assist their caring role.

The workshop provides carers with an opportunity to increase their awareness of how people communicate and what skills are needed at different times with the person you care for. A range of communication strategies will be explored to build carers confidence and skills and assist them to improve relationships now and in the future.
