City Carer Support Services

One of the support workers talking to carers We are here to support you if you care for someone who is receiving adult mental health services. Our support workers provide an opportunity for you to talk, be listened to and understood.  

We understand how life changing becoming a carer is - the emotional strain, responsibility and how isolating and overwhelming it can feel.

We realise the important role carers play and we want to ensure that their experiences, concerns and opinions are shared and acknowledged.

We are recovery focused and help carers, family and friends build on their own strengths and aspirations.

We provide support to individuals and groups of carers and increase access to carers' assessments. Find out more about carers' assessments on the NHS website.

We work with other services and agencies to help identify carers across Nottingham City and promote carer issues.
