The Mental Health Carer Support Program works individually with carers and may provide:

• Opportunities to develop strategies and plans to cope with the caring role
• Emotional support
• Information and resources
• Support with flexible respite options
• Advocacy
• Referral to other services
• Links to peer support and mentoring

You can connect with your local mental health carer support worker by telephone or in person.

A referral can also be made on your behalf from family members or any health professional working with you or the person you care for.
