Rethink Mental Illness Manchester Group

Our group is developing our partnership with the Manchester Carers Centre (Carers Trust) to provide a confidential support group for carers. It will be an opportunity for carers to share their experiences in confidence with other carers of those who have a mental or physical illness. A carer can be anyone who cares for or about someone and can be a partner, sibling, family member, friend, colleague, neighbour etc. We will keep you informed about when this new service will start.

Come along and find out what our group is about and  our vision for the future. Our guest speaker is Shôn Lewis MD Professor of  Adult Psychiatry, Director, Institute of Brain,  Behaviour and Mental Health at The University of  Manchester. Patrick Cahoon, Head of Patient Experience at  MMHSCT is coming along also, and if time allows will  answer questions about the Trust. We will start at 6pm for tea,  coffee and biccies, followed by our AGM, with  guest speakers and ending at 8pm. If you are travelling by public transport,  Manchester Carers Centre is directly across the  road from the New Islington Metrolink stop  (Droylsden Line). It’s one tram stop from  Piccadilly train station. Some of us meet at  Piccadilly station by the taxi rank at 5.30 and  head up together. Text Lindsey on 07757 082  976 so we know to wait for you. If you are  travelling by car, free parking is available on  Pollard Street from 6pm.
