Our long running group is open to anyone who has a brother or sister with lived experience of mental illness. The relationship between siblings is different to any other relationship, and our group reflects that. We can give a good insight into how mental illness can change relationships and discuss the ways you can support your sibling and the rest of your family, both emotionally and practically. The group usually meets roughly 9 times a year, on the last Wednesday of the month, but from time to time this may change. We mainly support siblings whose brother or sister has schizophrenia or bi-polar but will not turn anyone away who cannot find support elsewhere. The best way to contact the group is via our email address: rethinklondonsibs@gmail.com. All will receive a warm welcome.
