We offer emotional support to Carers, listening and being there for them. We can also help people access counselling, and more practical support with issues including advocacy, money, entitlements, volunteering and work.

Carers are referred to us via a Carers Assessment social services. Any unpaid Carer is entitled to request a Carer's Assessment.

We also hold monthly Carers Coffee Mornings in Cardiff and Barry, where Carers can come for support from people who understand what it is to care for someone with mental illness. These take place from 11am to 1pm as follows:

* 3rd Wednesday of each month at The Bridge Between, Barry
