Salisbury Rethink Carers Support Group
Open to: Carers
Salisbury
We meet on the second Thursday of each month between 7.00pm and 9.00pm
Group Coordinator: _
Do you care for someone with a mental illness and want to talk to someone in a similar situation? We meet once a month for two hours on a Thursday evening to share experiences and learn more about mental illness and navigating the health and social care systems. Occasionally, we invite a speaker to talk at a meeting, for example, we recently heard from an expert on the complexities of medication. Please come along and join us. You will find us ready to listen and share experiences in a safe and confidential space. Our aim is to encourage conversation and help build contacts and friendships. We know how hard it can be to make that first step, so please contact our group coordinators to learn more about us.

We are an online support group for women experiencing depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues, yet you don't need a formal diagnosis to join or benefit from the group. We welcome adults of all ages, including those residing in Hampshire and the neighbouring counties. We can offer a safe, trusting and non-judgemental space to talk, receive and give support, feel less alone with your struggles and make new connections. Sometimes, we focus on a specific life area, such as self-care, coping skills or relationships, yet mostly it's about being yourself and with others. We understand that it can feel scary meeting online, and joining a group for the first time, yet we are here for you. If you're interested in joining us and would like to find out whether the group may be for you, please contact our Group Coordinator, Vicky Mould.

Do you have a brother or sister living with mental illness? The Bristol Siblings Group is here to help you. We offer a space in Bristol where you can meet other siblings with a brother or sister with mental health issues, share your experiences and the emotions you feel as a sibling, access information on mental health issues and sibling support and realise you are not alone. The group is very friendly and informal, and you’ll have the chance to offload, and talk about whatever’s going on for you and your family. It’s up to you how much or little you talk, but you can feel sure there will people at the group who want to listen and connect with you. We sometimes organise speakers to share information on relevant topics. Depending on what people want, we can do other things with the group as well, such as fundraising or organising events to help raise awareness of mental health issues. It’s up to all of us what direction we’d like the group to take, so please let us know your ideas. The group is open to anyone aged 18 and over with a brother or sister living with mental illness. We look forward to meeting you.
