This service offers support to unpaid carers of people aged 18-65 years with severe and enduring mental health problems. It is available in Central Norfolk, including Norwich City and most of Broadland, North Norfolk and South Norfolk areas. 

We work with individual carers on a 1:1 basis and can visit at home or meet at any other suitable venue of your choice. We also operate carers' groups at venues across Central Norfolk - please contact us for details of those in your area. We have information available in Polish, Russian, Hungarian and Lithuanian on request.
