You are here:
Looking after a loved one who is living with mental illness is challenging. The selflessness it takes to support someone who isn’t well can take its toll on your health,
Ensuring you get the support you need to be the best version of yourself for your loved one is equally as important as their health.
Among the many supports we offer for families and carers is our Carer Education Sessions. These sessions are tailored specifically for families and carers of people living with mental illness.
Our education sessions cover a wide range of topics, including information to cope with the grief of diagnosis, how to care for someone living with mental illness while maintaining boundaries and caring for yourself and much more.
Access to One Door’s Carer Education Sessions are fully funded.
***COVID-19 Notice: Local education sessions for carers are affected by current quarantine restrictions and numbers may be limited due to space requirements. Registrations for both local and webinar sessions are essential.
Please contact carerservices@onedoor.org.au or your local carer advocate to learn more about carer support in your area.
Please book sessions with your local Carer Advocate or email carerservices@onedoor.org.au
