• Tag: Siblings

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. The group are currently meeting on Wednesdays every 8 weeks, 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.

• CR0 5LP, 17 miles from this group
• Tag: Carers

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. We also have speaker meetings running alongside our usual group, four times a year—the FIRST Wednesdays in March, June, September and December.  Same venue and times.
