Carer support groups bring together people who share common experiences in their carer roles.These groups offer emotional, social and practical support by sharing knowledge and understanding.

What you can expect

  • Emotional support – talk openly with others who understand the pressures of caring – people independent of the person you care for or your family.
  • Practical information, tips & resources – learn about local services, medical treatments, research updates, and helpful strategies to ease your caring role
  • New friends and social connection – caring can make it hard to stay connected with friends and family. Support groups help you build new friendships and feel less alone
