Caring4carers

Caring4carers (originally called Mencare) was formed in 2000 in response to a need from people who were caring for a family member with a mental illness.

The organisation was set up to help carers of the severely mentally ill by participating in a course called Supportive Family Training.

Supportive Family Training is a free 11-week course designed for family members (parents, siblings, adults, children, spouses) and concerned friends or individuals with severe mental illnesses. The course is taught by trained family members and professionals.
