We'll be meeting this coming Wednesday 12th October at Manchester Carers Centre from 6 - 7:30pm. We have two visitors to welcome: - Stephen McAndrew who is a Trustee of our parent charity, Rethink Mental Illness. He's coming mainly to meet with us but also so we can find out a bit about what he does as a Trustee, and about Rethink. - Adelene O'Connor, a researcher, who is in the early stages of research into family members/carers experiences of supporting their relative who has decided to stop their prescribed medication. I know this won't apply to all of us but it's good to hear about current mental health research whatever the specialism. Bridge5Mill is easy to get to from the city centre - it's 5 minutes walk from Holt Town metrolink stop. There is parking on most streets around the Mill from 6pm. Directions for travelling by tram, on foot, by bike, bus and car are all available on the Bridge 5 Mill website here http://www.merci.org.uk/d ru
We are a volunteer run support group for anyone in Manchester who is affected by severe mental illness, whether as a carer or service user. We are affiliated to the national charity Rethink Mental Illness.
