How can peer support be used to recognise and support carers? This exciting event for Carer’s Week looks at the lived experience of carers of those with mental health issues, to explore some of the challenges facing carers and to better understand their importance in promoting recovery.
We will be looking at some of the new peer support roles emerging within the NHS and other organisations which are specifically supporting carers and families – and why these are so important to improving outcomes for those living with mental health challenges. With a mixture of presentations and space for discussion, we hope to discover together the value of carer peer support.
This event is for anyone with an interest in learning more about the carer lived experience and how peer support is making a difference. Whether you’re already working from a carer lived experience perspective, seeking to enhance your understanding and awareness of carers within mental health services, or interested in learning more about carer peer support, everyone is welcome.
