Carer Support Groups

Rethink Mental Illness have a Carer Support Group every 3rd Tuesday of the month at the


Canterbury Umbrella Centre
7:30pm - 9pm

and on the 1st Friday of the month at

Durham House, Herne Bay
2pm -  3:15pm


All carers are welcome.


The aim of the Support meetings is to facilitate networking of Carers in the area to encourage mutual support. Carers meet up in an informal environment and the group gives them the chance to discuss their roles and experiences within their Carer role. The Carer Groups are an effective tool in preventing isolation and promoting social inclusion.

Carer Groups provide support via publications, personal experiences and, on occasions, speakers are invited to attend to discuss a variety of areas that you may find useful within your caring role. The Carer Groups have proved to be highly effective and feedback has been very positive.
