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. 

Developing a Carer Statement session will cover useful information to include in a carer statement and different formats that can used.

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.

We are trialling a new initiative - Coffee Connect. You will be able to drop in, have a chat and catch up with other carers.
