Are you caring for someone living with a mental health condition?
When you care for someone, sometimes it can be hard to make time for yourself.
Our Carers Social & Wellbeing Group is a place to meet other carers, have a chat and take some time for you.
Carers Connection and Wellbeing Group
The Murrumbidgee MHDA Alliance acknowledges and pays respects to the traditional owners of the lands on which our member organisations operate; the Wiradjuri, Nari Nari, Wemba Wemba, Perepa Perepa, Yorta Yorta, Ngunnawal, Ngarigo, Bangerang and Yitha Yitha Nations.
We recognise our communities are made up of many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples descended from additional mobs and clans who also call the Murrumbidgee region home.
We pay respect to elders past, present and future and recognise these lands have always been places of traditional healing and medicine, and this plays a role in shaping future health services
Have questions or want to learn more about the Alliance, please get in touch:

We recognise the profound contributions of individuals with lived and living experiences of mental health challenges, substance use, and suicide, as well as those who care for and support them. Each person’s journey is unique and adds invaluable insight into how we can collectively improve and reform mental health and suicide prevention systems.
We also remember those we have lost too soon, and recognise the lasting impact their absence leaves on their families, carers, and communities. Their stories, strength, and resilience guide us to confront stigma and ensure our efforts are informed by compassion, respect, and lived experience.
The GPH Participation Platform helps us hear feedback, input and ideas from people with lived or living experience of mental health, suicide, drug or alcohol challenges. This helps shape and improve services, projects and plans. The platform also shares news and project updates from Grand Pacific Health, partner groups and Regional Lived Experience, Peer and Carer Network organisations.
