Carer Connections Helpline
MHCN runs the Carer Connections Helpline in conjunction with WayAhead Mental Health Association.
The Carer Connections Helpline aims to help connect carers, families and friends of people living with a mental health condition to helpful services and supports in their local area to better support them in their caring role.
This might be things like support groups, counselling, carer specific programs, social events, etc.
