Support for carers of someone with a mental health condition

Help for carers

There is no right or wrong way to support someone with a mental health problem.

Mind have produced a guide to helping someone else get the support they need, which includes information for if the person you care for has not been diagnosed.

It can help both you and the person you care for, to understand their diagnosis as it can help you to appreciate how it affects them.

Carers support for specific mental health problems

Mind have produced information and guidance about specific mental health problems and how you can give support.

Our directory lists carers support groups that may be able to help if you want to get information and talk to others who have been through similar experiences.

Further support for carers

As a carer, it is important to look after your own health. The Carer's resource, information and support programme (CRISP) have information and support for carers in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole areas.
