Carer Connection Meetings

I have met some remarkable people through collaboration and co-design. Having a safe space to speak about our feelings reduces isolation and stigma. A network of carers that builds genuine connection will help make us feel stronger together

About our Carer Connections Meetings

The Mental Health Carer Connection Meeting is a space for mental health carers, families, and friends of people with mental health issues to work together.

We share issues happening at a grass roots level, connect with each other, talk about what advocacy is, how we can work together to identify and address carer issues, and what supports are available.

These meetings are facilitated by MHCN’s CEO, Jonathan Harms. By fostering mutual collaboration, these gatherings also play a key role in shaping MHCN’s policy and advocacy work, ensuring that the voices of mental health carers, families, and friends help guide the organisation’s priorities and areas of focus.
