The Peer Support Groups program offered under Carer Gateway and HelpingMinds provides a unique way for carers to meet like-minded people and connect through the power of peer support.
We will also assist you to build on the skills that you have already developed in your carer role in order to support and guide others who are in a similar situations.
The four week program prepares you for the possibility of facilitating your own support group which you can choose to continue if you feel confident. Your Carer Gateway facilitator will be there to support you throughout the process and into the future.
For adult carers who are supporting a loved one through the challenges associated with disability, mental health, age, addiction or palliative care
