If your focus is on someone else’s wellbeing, it’s sometimes easy to forget you could do with a bit of extra support too. Stride’s Families and Carers service in Nowra is for families and carers of loved ones with a mental health issue. The experience of a mental health condition not only affects the individual, but those closest to them. The program includes a variety of individual and group programs tailored to meet the family and carer’s needs.
With Family and Carer support, you can learn skills that support you on your caring journey, which focus on self-care and the overall mental health and wellbeing for both the carer and the loved one. Our peers support workers in Nowra will engage with you and provide various types of support. We support carers aged 16 and over.
Our Family and Carer team are able to assist you in a variety of ways including:
Referrals can be made directly by the carer as a self referral, or from any other services, GP’s, and support services by emailing familyandcarer@stride.com.au
