A life saver

"A life saver"

About: Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust / Adult Mental Health Services - Community (County)

(as a service user),

Bassetlaw carer support group.

It has been a delight to find carer services, having begun our journey in 1940 when families were seen as the problem. I have been involved in developing carer support for about 20 years but have only discovered this group in the last 3 years. It has been a lifesaver being among people who understand both aspects of my daughters mental health problems.

Dear robincz69

What a lovely story! I'm so pleased you have found this group. Describing it as a 'lifesaver' says it all.

I'm glad you feel the group understands the different aspects of your daughters mental health and that you feel it has been a delight to find the service.

Thank you for your kind words which I know the team will appreciate. I will pass on your feedback and wish you every success in your continued work supporting carers.

Kind Regards

Jane
