Rethink Mental Illness Carers Advisory Board
Our Carers Advisory Board is made up of people with experience of caring for someone severely affected by mental illness. They bring the carers' perspective to our work, providing an advisory role and helping shape all that we do at Rethink Mental Illness.
Established in 2021, the Rethink Mental Illness Carers Advisory Board (CAB) is a driving force of caring experience at Rethink Mental Illness.
From advising on the issues affecting carers and championing carers’ voices, to shaping our campaigns and services, there is always something to get involved with through CAB .
The influence of CAB
Here are just some of the Rethink Mental Illness activities that CAB members have been involved in recently:
- Developing our Mental Health Unpaid Carers Charter
- Bringing the carer perspective to all of the work that we do
- Shaping key campaigns, such as Carers' Week and National Schizophrenia Awareness Day
-
“We were consulted on the new Corporate Strategy and agreed that carers should have an organisational focus directly on their own needs, as well as on the needs of their loved ones. We have also contributed to the planning for Carers’ Week and National Schizophrenia Awareness Day.”
