What we do
Providing emotional and practical support for unpaid carers of people accessing secondary mental health services in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan.
Who we support
We support unpaid carers aged 18 and over who care for someone with a mental health condition. One-to-one support is available where the cared-for person is under secondary mental health services, while monthly carers groups are open to all carers supporting someone with mental health needs.
How we do it
The service offers a 12-week one-to-one support programme, emotional and practical support, information, and monthly carers groups. We also help carers access Carers Assessments, reviews, and wider support services.
Referral
Carers can self-refer or be referred by professionals. A Carers Assessment is required for access to one-to-one commissioned support. Monthly carers groups can be attended without referral.
