Our Hull Carers group has been meeting for several years now. We are a friendly group that meets once a month in an afternoon. We offer a safe, relaxing space for people caring for someone with mental illness to share what sort of month they’ve had. This typically leads to members offering support and encouragement to each other. We never put pressure on anyone to share. We just offer the space for people to do so freely and without judgement, so our members feel less isolated and more supported. We provide information, share knowledge and skills and occasionally organise for speakers to talk about services that may offer further support for carers. New members are warmly welcome.
