Carer Support Group

Carers are those who provide care and support for family members or friends who have a chronic illness, terminal illness, mental illness, disability or who are frail. Although carers often speak about how rewarding it is they are often quite reluctant to admit how tiring and stressful it can be.

The Greek Welfare Centre provides a monthly Carer Support Group for carers. The support group is an excellent opportunity for carers to have a break, socialise with other carers, access helpful information about available services and go on outings. The Centre also hosts an annual full day retreat option for carers. Respite can be provided for carers to attend the Group.
