Carer and family support

Carer and Family Support service

We support unpaid carers who are caring for someone with a mental health problem. This service is carer led and is supported by a team of staff and volunteers who provide one-to-one and group support, in person, by phone or on video calls.

We support carers in many ways, including:

• meeting them individually and with their families
• carrying out assessments, focusing on their current and future needs
• providing emotional support in a confidential setting
• providing regular telephone support and groups through our volunteers
• offering a range of carer groups, some of which are peer led. For example, we have groups specifically for male carers, female carers, carers of people with addiction, carers of people with an eating disorder, parents of children with autism and ADHD, and sibling carers
• connecting carers with other carers to reduce isolation
• supporting them to pursue education
• supporting them to participate in recreational and community events
• providing advocacy to help carers navigate the mental health care system and access health and social care services
• signposting to further services offered by Jami and other organisations
