The aims of this friendly group are to offer support to each other and help increase the awareness of mental illness and the effect it can have on carers, and those experiencing mental illness.

Our Rethink Mental Illness - Carers Support Group offers a friendly, welcoming environment for people with family members or friends affected by acute or enduring mental illness. We aim to strengthen awareness of mental health, both locally and nationally, through campaigning and fundraising. We also alleviate isolation through mutual support of the shared lived experiences we each have. Meetings are relaxed and empathetic, with new members always encouraged to join us. Our group is open to all carers (experienced or new) who have relatives with enduring mental health conditions.

We aim to support those who support others with their mental health, whether family members or friends. These people often don’t know how to support their loved one, friend or sibling and find the situation they're facing very confusing. As well as supporting people who support others, and helping them support each other, we have started a creative writing group for people with lived experience of mental illness. This gives members the opportunity to express themselves in a way they might not have been able to before.

Our group offers mutual support and information for carers by getting together and sharing our situations and challenges. Through doing this, we are able to view situations differently, take some of the pressure off of our shoulders and feel less isolated, knowing that others are in similar situations.

We are dedicated to young South Asian women in their 20's and 30's who are suffering with any type of mental health condition. This is a safe, open and most importantly non-judgemental spce for us like-minded individuals to get together and discuss what's on our mind - we celebrate the good, share the bad and emphasise with everything in between. We don't have all the answers but we do know good mental health is a journey, one that will only move forward once we start talking about how we really feel. Come along and be part of the change!

The London Arts and Social Network is a peer led network whose members identify with the difficulties associated with personality disorder (whether formally diagnosed or not). We provide a space for people to meet and enjoy London-based arts and cultural events. The network aims to give people who may be isolated an opportunity to make new friends and enjoy the experience of going to cultural events with a peer group who can appreciate the difficulties of having a personality disorder.
