Worthing Rethink Mental Health Carers Group
Open to: Carers
Worthing
Please see details below
Group Coordinator: Peter, Mark and Pamela
We are a peer-led support group for the carers, family members and friends of people with lived experience of mental illness. We also welcome people living with mental illness who wish to attend, as both sets of people share similar issues.
We have three groups running:
1. A virtual meeting runs on the 2nd Monday of each month at 7pm. Contact us for details.
2. A face-to-face meeting is held on the 4th Monday of each month from 7pm at Meadowfield Hospital, Swandean, Arundel Road, Worthing BN13 3EF. Every month, we try to arrange for a guest speaker to talk to the group about their specialist area but always leave time for people to share concerns and receive support.
3. A drop-in session takes place on the first Wednesday of the month between 10:30am and 1pm, at The Happy Teapot Cafe, 7 Richmond Rd, Worthing BN11 1PN (opposite Worthing Library). Stay for 5 minutes, the whole time, or anywhere in between.

Our group aims to be a safe place for carers to offload their problems and support each other, knowing they will not be judged. We have all had personal experience of caring for someone close to us, and so we understand what it can be like supporting someone through a challenging treatment path. We have occasional speakers, and try to be involved in local decision making to help improve the situations of carers and their loved ones.

You're very welcome to enquire about this group and arrange a 30-minute initial discussion, yet please note that spaces are limited. Our virtual/online support group is for women impacted by mental health issues, such as prolonged low mood/depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD or BPD/EUPD (and associated loneliness or social isolation, low self-confidence and self-esteem). But you don't need a formal mental health diagnosis to join - it's more important that you could benefit from the group. We can offer a welcoming, non-judgemental and understanding space to connect with and learn from others and receive and give support. As we meet online - using Whereby Video, you'll need the following: ● Access to a private room or space for the duration of each meeting ● To adhere to the group rules around confidentiality ● A mobile phone, tablet or computer/laptop with a camera and microphone installed ● A good internet connection and private WiFi connection ● A personal/private email address. Meetings take place fortnightly on Tuesdays, 5.30 pm - 7.00 pm. The Group Coordinator will email the details you need to access a scheduled group meeting. To enquire about the group, please email Vicky via eastleighwomenswellbeing@gmail.com or contact her via the group mobile.
